Andrey Rublev’s Coaching Future Uncertain Amid Trials with Marat Safin

Halle, Germany — Russian tennis star Andrey Rublev‘s future with coach Marat Safin remains uncertain as they navigate their partnership. The duo began a trial period during the clay season and Rublev is now hinting at a potential long-term collaboration.

Despite a rocky start that saw Rublev struggle to adapt to Safin’s coaching style, the world No. 14 is optimistic. “I’m satisfied and would like to continue working with Marat. Everything should be okay, we’ve talked a little, but we still have a few details to sort out,” Rublev said in Halle.

Rublev’s performance initially faltered, but he improved with a runner-up finish in Hamburg and a solid run to the French Open round of 16. As he begins his grass season at the ATP 500 tournament in Halle, the success of his campaign may impact the future of his collaboration with Safin.
