Remember Rublev?

[George Turner]

Rublev made it to the quarters of the 2017 US open, defeating WT finaliats Goffin and Dimitrov on the way. There's an old thread on him titled "i stake my Roubles on Rublev" where there's lots of talk about him. It looked like the first big step in his progression.

However in that quarter final he looked alarmingly out of his depth when facing Nadal, he has basically disappeared since. There's been no notable results to speak of, no improvement in his game, nothing. To think he was ranked far above Tsitsipas after that US open run, their careers have since taken totally opposite paths.

Does he have potential to get anywhere near the top?

The last 10 years is littered with garbage posts trying to find the next big player

Rubles for Rublev is yet another piece of trash in the landfill

Does this have to do anything with Putin ? I'm scared . I'm scared of Trump too . God help us all .

I'm not so scared of 'the new gen' or whatever you like you call them. They are all pretty much useless .

Sounds like he's The Almost Man. That may be the problem.
