Rublev disagrees with $3,000 U.S. Open fine for using foul language

Russian tennis star Andrey Rublev has expressed his frustration over the $3,000 fine he received for using foul language during his second-round match at the U.S. Open. Rublev, currently ranked No. 15 in men’s singles, believes that in the heat of competition, players should not be penalized for their words.

Speaking to The New York Post before his third-round match, Rublev defended his actions, stating that it should be his decision how he speaks to himself on the court. He argued that in sports, especially during crucial moments, it is common for expletives to be said, and that it is a normal occurrence in the heat of competition.

Rublev also showed support for his fellow Russian player, Daniil Medvedev, who received a hefty fine for his outburst during the tournament. Medvedev’s rant during his first-round match resulted in a $42,500 fine after he disagreed with a call made by the chair umpire.

Despite the fines and controversies surrounding Russian players at the U.S. Open, Rublev remains focused on his performance on the court. He recently defeated Coleman Wong in a thrilling five-set match and is set to face Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime in the Round of 16.

As the tournament progresses, Rublev continues to showcase his skills and determination, proving himself as a formidable competitor on the tennis court. Stay tuned for more updates on the U.S. Open and follow Fox News Digital for the latest sports coverage.
