I've watched the entire match and I still can't believe it. The way Rublev was calm, collected, with almost none of his typical angry outbursts... I think I'm gonna cry for joy. If he was always that composed, he could've achieved so much more.
his biggest struggle is his mental health, hes struggled with depression before. Its the biggest thing holding him back but if his mental is in the right place, theres very few players that can best him.
Agreed, it was impressive from several points in the first set that usually would have him smashing rackets and barking at himself. If Andrey's mentality can stay like this, he's going to have a LOT of wins this year. Also really strong on the backhand wing, which I like to see since he tends to get himself in trouble running around his backhand.
I agree. So happy for him.
@@nihilus1626His game is still not complete , has no slices and variations and you can't win slams being one dimensional at best he'll be a top 5 player.
Super Rublev c'est vrai il a été très calme il a fait un super match Alcaraz n'est pas prêt d'égaler Nadal sur terre encore bravo à Rublev ♥️
AwakenBeerus and his predictions are starting to annoy me. I don't care how accurate he is, I'm not here to make money off his guesses. Let's just enjoy the game for what it is.
How the fuck is he so accurate
Andrey, very happy to see you come back as a stronger player. As you said in the interview, you stayed calm & didn't even say a word when you played bad during the match - so proud of you! Best of luck to playing your best tennis in the following match (or two!) to come!!
Mentally strong
You know this is not his account and he’s not reading this, right?
@@JK-vc7ie Of course - just expressing the happiness as a die-hard fan! If he happened to see it, that'd just be a bonus~~
Now he also has to stay calm when he is on the losing track against a lower-ranked opponent.
When Rublev not mad, he is a real canon. I love how he hit forehand. Fierce and fury.
Rublev is truly back to winning ways and you simply love to see it!! To be fair, I was worried for Carlitos cause of the elbow sleeve, but honestly, Rublev just played great
He has the elbow sleeve bc he doesn’t like the feeling of clay on his forearm. Nothing to do with an injury? Or am I wrong?
@@ShooterMcGavin32he did have an injury, which is why he pulled out of previous clay tournaments this year
you know he's back when the "bweehs" are loud and in full force
We will see if he can truly manage his emotions in the long run. I doubt it.
@@Stu49583 It will be harder for you to see clearly if you start with a bias. Personally I am biased towards the idea that he significantly levelled up after that recently ugly episode where he both acted wrong AND was very unfairly treated.
Players are no longer intimidated by Alcaraz, his game is easily navigated. The commentators are in as much shock as Alcaraz. When you put someone on a pedestal & continually hype them up, they fall. Well done to Rublev.
Everyone get beaten someday it doesn't mean they are not as good! You talk like he lost to swiãntek! Come on! Give credit to Rublev!
what makes Alcaraz good is he simply chases every the ball/shot.. and then that annoying drop-shot.. other than that he's simply overrated. and now every player knows it now
"Easily navigated"? Are you crazy? It still requires almost superhuman athleticism and a certain amount of luck to be able to beat Alcaraz. I would like to see how well you do against Alcaraz if you think you have him "easily navigated". 😂
Alcaraz was clearly physically compromised with his forearm and serve. He wasn’t even going for his shots 100 %. He was slicing and using his drop shot more to conserve that forehand. He isn’t a quitter so he tried his best, Rublev had to earn it. Did you not see the guy rubbing his forehand on changeovers and in visible pain. Also, now having to miss Rome. To say he has been figured out is wildly inaccurate. Rublev has beaten all the top 10 in his career at least once, so it isn’t like Alcaraz lost to someone who isn’t quality. Give Alcaraz a break, only 21 and right now dealing with some pretty serious injuries this year, hasn’t really had a chance to build much momentum this year and match fitness.
@@philshyu5248Implying Alcaraz is a Superhuman athlete is insulting to other tennis players, who are equally fit, talented & skilled. Alcaraz chases every shot which looks impressive on the surface, unlike those who reserve their energy, don't burn themselves out & have the confidence to play with precision, mental agility & skill.
Some insane points played by Rublev in the second two sets. I hope he keeps his head level so he keeps playing at this level.
Don't think I've ever seen rublev not have at least a few outbursts in every match he's ever played, until today. And it's possibly the biggest win of his career.
Nadal and Federer
@@user-wc8vh9by5x?
He didn't have much to lose with a player like Acaraz. Let's see what happens if he's the favorite.
hes beaten all the big 5 before
Maybe because you only watch highlights which selectively choose only the bad moments & create a false narrative? If you actually watched the majority of his matches in full, there are many matches where he doesn't have any "outbursts".. The guy can't even take a deep breath without haters & media wanting to create bs clickbait
I'm not happy that he beat Carlos, but that he beat himself!
I think Andrey deserved the win. He was the better player, especially the last 2 sets.
what?
@@ErnestoLopez-kr8zl Most of the time Rublev's true opponent isn't on the other side of the net, but inside his own head.
Definitely! Rublev played extremely well. It was obvious however tactically Carlos played right into Rublevs wheelhouse. To beat Rublev you can't keep hitting slices to the middle of the court. On serve you have to hit big kick serves more that can pull Rublev off the court on the ad side. Carlos was too far behind the baseline in many of the rallies and for this to work he needed to keep the ball deep with heavy top spin and grinding out longer points to frustrate Rublev and bring out his inner anger demons! Hopefully Alcaraz can fully heal physically before the French. Rublev on the other hand probably will not make it past the QF in the French. Outside odds for a SF.
Exactly @@theviniso
After his multiple first round losses, i really think Rublev must've taken that very seriously and came so strong. So happy for him.
Rublev was a beast against Griekspoor yesterday, but he was also great against Alcaraz today! 🔥🔥🔥
I was so proud for Rublev when he did a dropshot against Alcaraz haha. So enjoyable, I hope we will see more various game from Andrey
I'm really happy for Rublev! Very good how he kept concentrating after the loss of the first set instead of smacking himself, everybody and everything
Rublev was amazing. The serve was out of the world. Congratulations and all the best.
There is something speciall about Andrey Rublev...he can be gentle but,sometimes in a tennis fight...he has the eyes of a Tiger 👏👏👏Congratulations Andrey Rublev and good luck in semifinal of Madrid 2024👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Just imagine. Rublev was actually calm for once and played the best tennis of his life IMO. This is so exciting..
What a comeback for Rublev, everyone thought his downfall had come a week ago!
Wow! I think Rublev’s calmness made him win the match. Way to go!
Somehow clay makes Rublev calmer and more collected. Great performance and now he has a real shot for the title.
I saw that!
Clay has nothing to do with that. He's been working on his mental game a lot recently and it shows.
@joycehost-kh8vxLol he's clearly better on clay than hard courts.
Unreal Serving from Andryusha
How can you win against someone is serving on the line all game? That was unreal.
@@johnpapadopoulos4881 Bruh literally all game
So very happy for Andrey. I have no words to explain how good I feel for him. Calm ,collected different Andrey we witnessed. Andrey you are fantastic. ❤
2 of the nicest guys on tour. Carlos so gracious in defeat. Amazing.
It is irritating when he fist pumps his coach after winning every point. He looks very pleased with himself until he loses.
Rublev needed that win... He is so humble and it will boost his confidence
He’s awful and a little girl with his girly hair
Finally we can enjoy some Rublev highlights on this channel
No
I'm so happy for this WIN and I hope Rublev wins the French Open! ❤❤💯💯💯
The forehand/volley from Rublev was amazing
Surely satisfying victory for rublev ... Beating alcaraz in Madrid is tough
Rublev won with controlled aggression. Carlito wishing Rublev good luck in defeat. Pure class
Big shock after all his recent upsets! Hopefully this helps turn his mental around for the summer stretch
Congratulations Andrey 👏🥰❤. I'm so proud of you ❤
Sooo happy for Rublev!!✨🎉 how resilient he has been with tennis!
Watched it live in the stadium, such a strong precise flat forehand from Andrey - well deserved 🎾🙌🏻
I don’t think I have ever seen Rublev being so consistent on his serve.
Честитке Рубљов,навијам за тебе да освојиш титулу!!! Поздрав из Србије!!!🇷🇸❤️🇷🇺
I'm from Canada and cheering for him. Great win, Andrey
I'm from Croatia and I'm cheering for him as well. I would be so happy if he wins the tournament.
@2:45 so funny, he won the point , has 3 BPs and swore! Gotta love this guy, so glad that he won! Hopefully he can win this title, may be? please!
When Rublev is stable emotionally like in this match, he can win any match, against anyone. Lets go my guy !!
I've only watched the highlights but it seems that today Rublev played with a different approach to the match. Calm and strong at the same time. Even his backhand today has been superb. Very happy for Andrey. And, last but not least, great hug between the two players - Carlos sportmanship is the best.
Vamos Rublo, he's back! 🎾✨🥰 Beautiful tennis, wishing you the best luck in semis, go for it Andrey, go for it! ✨
More than a shock. Still pondering how did it happen? Alcaraz I am sure is more shocked than the entire stadium full of Spanish fans. OMG Congrats Rublev
Alcaraz did say that he'd like to win 2-3 matches in Madrid due to his forearm injury so idk if he was that shocked. Alcaraz clearly was not 100% in yesterday's match against Struff and then again today.
At the end of this match, I was sad for Carlos, happy for Andrey but I also relieved that I watched a match of Andrey without his endless outbursts. His every match had been really exhausting to watch because of that, I can’t imagine how tired he was feeling from all of that. Today he was collected, just focus on playing tennis and when he missed a shot, it didn’t feel like the end of the world. And I realized that I like to watch this Andrey very much. Hopefully he can keep state of mind, believe in himself more and keep going 🤞💪
Yes he's lightened up, which he needed to do.
Congrats to both player for a very exciting match. To Rublev: you played “cool calm and collected.” If you continue to play like this, I can see you climbing to the top! Great job!
thank god. this is a huge W for tennis. so glad the clay season is continuing to open up for underdogs.
None of them is like Nadal on clay after Nadal is retired clay season is open for everyone Nadal was like created by god to dominate clay.
Congrats Andrey! Yes, you can! Good luck for this tournament!
Rublev played probably his best match on clay. Alcaraz was permanent in defense in sets 2 & 3.
Nadal!!!
The rublev beast woke up..excellent match..👍
I feel like this might be a good time for all the Alcaraz hype to calm down a little bit. Don’t get me wrong, he’s very talented, but I never see him as the equal of the Big 3. People often forget being able to stay healthy is the most important physical talent in all sports. Roger & Novak were great in that department, Rafa was a weird case since he would often rest half a season but still come back strong. Alcaraz is a great player but he’s definitely not unbeatable on clay like young Rafa, there’s several good players on the court still deserve more love and attention.
I’m happy! I really hope that Andrey will be able to hold this sense of calm and confidence he had today. He is such an amazing and talented player. Looking forward to see how he fights others, not himself. It is too early to make any conclusions, but I can totally see him in top 3 IF he will continue to patiently work on his mental progress ❤️🔥
Wow, this was as good as I have ever seen Rublev play.From start of 2nd set onwards he was all razor-sharp and rotor-swift mode.That's what I kept talking about that for him to move past quarters he has to develop his technical game more so than mental when many fans just pointed out to his mental exhaustion being the roadblock in his bid to reach semis and finals.For me it was always his one-dimensional gun barrel rallies that found him wanting cometh the quarters of mainly all slams he used to play.For me the road beyond quarters meant more variety,more backhand down the line volleys,more side spins and drop shots,more acute awareness and boy did he turn that ignition switch on big time today.He looked a complete package in this game with his variations and I am sure if he clings onto such a venomous state he is one ruthless beast to have in any tournament.Rublev showed the steely sterner stuff today and hence the deserved eventual winner.Keep it up,ya look a champ like that bruv😉👍
Rublev 2.0! That’s his best tennis in quite a while and temper under control!
Alacaraz realising what it takes to be the man to beat in every tournament since Wimbledon 2023. Novak has been doing it for more than a decade now. Ability is one thing. Playing every match against an opponent who wants to win the biggest match of their career at your expense is totally different. The focus and sheer consistency is very difficult!
I love it. So happy for Rublev
RUBLEV BE CLOWNIN ON THEM HATERS 🗣️🗣️🗣️ seriously great match played by rublev tho and so glad to see him back to winning ways!
A calm cool collected Rublev is a different breed. He needs to realize that!
Bravo rubley victoire méritée comme ça Alcatraz fera moins le malin il ce crois trop j'ai bien aimé ça tête après ça défaite
5:33 Alcaraz anche in questa sconfitta si è dimostrato un gran bravo ragazzo. Oltre a complimentarsi con Rublev lo rincuorava . come a dire ogni tanto ce la puoi fare a battermi, segno dei grandi. Sinner e' uguale. Non si possono detestare neanche da tifosi di uno o dell'altro.
Well done to Rublev. He’s a really class player on clay
He’s scum
rublev back in busniess, can win the title 🔥🔥🔥 great serve / Great Forehand / Great return
I feel like the toughest part of the match for any player who loses the first set is to believe he can still turn this around and win it in decider. Andrey impressively did this in front of Carlos's home crowd. It's not easy at all not even against a non top player
Congratulations to Rublev, well done, best of luck in the semis ❤
Raramente ho visto un Alcaraz così in affanno, ed ancor più raramente ho ammirato un Rublev così preciso, quasi chirurgico nei suoi schemi! Greetings from Italy 💙🎾🇮🇹
Alcaraz is so humble and such a gentleman after a loss, pure elegance, pure role model. I love this young fellow.
Alcaraz is never humble, more in shock. He's big headed & learning the hard way.
Alcaraz is a joy. It's clear he's not 100% yet but he did what he predicted, win 2-3 matches so his recovery looks promising.
Levantale un monumento que diga " aquí cayó ante un grande que le dió una madriza en casa"
The Spanish peacock??? You’re joking right?
@@Mangoshake2021 ohh wow, a carlos-hater, how original. honestly you just look reallyreally sad putting your goofyass lil 'peacock comments everywhere you can on youtube. rent free dude. it shows. yikes
0:37 On another note, With all the highly questionable calls from linesmen this year and the past, it's about time a clay tournament has embraced hawk-eye; installing trust back into the players. Looking forward to 2025 when it's across the board.
What’s funny is there was still some controversy regarding that in the 3rd set😂
I was lucky enough to see Alcaraz wins Djokovic in Wimbledon last year and I have deep admiration and respect for him and his character. But I can't tell how happy I am for Rublev today. So well-deserved beautiful victory. Andrey ❤
🐐 spells Djokovic or N°1e. You must have mixed him with Jokic, NBA MVP. It's ok,they are both greats/best in their sport & Serbian 🇷🇸
I have very deep respect for Novak and I like him a lot as well as love Serbia ❤ but I just have slight dyslexia (thank you for pointing out - corrected)
@@ValeHow-de5ts It's ok. One must be called by his/her name. Especially one who is the best (of the bests). I'm a language teacher and Slavic languages are not so easy for non-speaking individuals.
I think this is rublev's best game..calm and determined..u deserve this
THANK YOU for showing the handshake.
I watched most of the match. I was surprised to see how calm and cool Rublev was throughout the match. He held his nerves and kept his composure unbelievably throughout the match. And that was the key. Especially after he lost the first set, he composed himself to wrestle the next two sets in dominant manner. He was up 4-1 40 love at one stage in the second set but lost all those 3 break points and I was expecting his typical outburst during one of those moments but kudos to him for not letting that happen. If he can maintain his mental composure like that, he's going to climb more heights in tennis.
Andrei played terrific. Let's see if he can win the tournament there's still long way to go. And alcaraz, I think this guy is done. He pushes his body so much so that it's started affecting him. Not that I hate or anything just wish best of luck to him. He skipped one recent tournament didn't he. Last year cramps and out. Already suffering in Madrid this year. Something is not looking ok. Meanwhile sinner going nicely. Medvedev too looking good on clay.
So happy for AR! He kept his emotions in check and look what happened. Bravo!
Rublev 2.0 might actually win something this year. His sports psychologist needs a raise. An amazing turn around in mentality and calmness.
What a level from Rublev! I know what he is capable of, but in that match he did really showcase it. Something was wrong with Alcaraz's forehand though. On these highlights he barely hitted some topspin forehands. It's kinda weird... Maybe his last injury is still hurting a bit or it's still in his head. I wish him healthy Rome and RG
Carlos win or lose, has by far the best attitude and is why I'm a huge fan
Bye bye fan girl 😂
@@Mangoshake2021 ahahahhaa *rent free* dude. yikes.
Finally Rublev getting past the quarterfinals in big games, hope he can go further at RG. Andrey and Fritz have both been serving incredible this week. Now that Sinner has withdrawn those two have a real chance at lifting the trophy.
Bravo, gents! What a masterful match. Rublev plays his best tennis when he stays calm - and Carlitos is king of the surprise drop shot! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
In a match like this, the best part is when the visiting player began to dominate, and the parochial, hysterical, wild, demented and fanatical home crowd suddenly get silent and depressed... I enjoy that feeling in every country, especially in Australia, where I live, and in any South American country... Crazy nationalism is OK in collective sports,as football, for example, when a team is representing a country... But singles tennis is an individual sport where nationality should be irrelevant...
Why do you think that one athlete is not a country, but a team is a country? Both compete under their national flags.
Rublo back in the game, dope
Oef when Rublev is on fire he really hits the ball amazingl. .
Alcaraz is so sporting. Even afrer a bitter defeat on home turf je was so gracious.
Please stop giving away the result in the title 🤦🏾♂️. I know you're doing it for the algorithm but we'll still look for and find the vid. You can even change the title to what you want next week
Yep. Totally spoiled this :-(
Waiting for those guys to say Andrey is one-dimensional and cannot win big guys with the weapons he’s got. I think Andrey silenced a lot of haters of his today
One or two wins against big players mean nothing . Can he win a slam with his one dimensional approach ? The answer is no.
@@Jacob56-xl4xo one or two? Now those who’s never won a slam one-dimensional? I don’t think you realize what you are saying, think harder
@@Jacob56-xl4xo can a guy be one-dimensional and be a top 10 guy for 4 years? The answer is no. Can a one-dimensional guy win Nadal, Roger, Carlos, Sinner, Novak, Medvedev, Zverev, etc? The answer is also no.
@@marchvertochko0056 Come back when he wins a slam or makes a slam final
@@Jacob56-xl4xo he’s already won one, no need to come back to an ignorant tr oll
It's more than a win against carlos. It's a win against himself. Congrat rublev. You're a true warrior 🙌👍🔥
Going into this match, I was only looking forward to watching some great tennis. That crowd made me root 100% for Rublev, who played magnificently. It was also good to see Andrey put this together - no small feat given the opponent and the atmosphere.
Roublev has the capacity to win UP TO a half dozen slams over the course of his career. Talent wise, he"'s not far behind the 2 gifted players of Sinner and ALCARAZ. It's his mental game that needs/needed improvement. Once you direct that negative anger and lean self control, you've just brought your game level 🎚️ another notch!!
is it so hard to not spoil the match on the thumbnail?
Stop complaining. If you cannot watch the match itself, consider yourself lucky that they even have a platform to bring people highlights for free.
@@orchidpanda2253 quality of life change which isnt hard karen
Magnificent heady play by Rublev. In this state he is unbeatable.
I’m so happy. Rublev spreading happiness again. ❤️❤️❤️
Bravo Andrey 👏👏👏
Rublev is in god mode when he can control his temper !
Carlos is such a great guy, Rublev too. Carlos really magnanimous in defeat, Rublev humble in victory.
I Rublev keeps calm he can achieve a lot
Rublev has finally brought down the Spanish sonny boy in his living room! And with spectacular, very attractive power tennis! 🤗🎯🤗
😂😂
Alcaraz had a tough match against Struff but damn, Rublev finally playing great again!
Rublev has improved a lot... Backhand... All-court play... The calm... It's aint just the forehand anymore.
Way to go Rublex👏👏👏 I love it. I’ve been a fan. Bye Carlos
Always believe that Andrey rublev is not only a brilliant tennis player but also a good man. Andrey certainly deserves this victory 💯
No
Alcaraz wasn't himself tonight, I think he needed another day rest, he just wasn't confident hitting his big forehands and kept falling back on the dropshot which eventually and inevitably let him down, hopefully he can regain form and strength for RG, my bet is he skips roma, take nothing away from Rublo though, he's really bounced back after 2 poor weeks on the dirt, good performance.
He probably came back too early. I hope it won't hurt his fragile health.. As his groundstrokes were very slow.
Well he needs to learn pacing his carrier And a better serve.
None of that! Rublev was the better player, carlos got defeated, take it fairly
No estuvo bien en todo el torneo XD
He should skip rg too.. He's getting beaten regularly now
Really loved seeing Rublev strategy working. Excellent tennis.
Sensacional, siempre. es mi favorito Carlitos, pero Rublev se ha reforzado tremendo! aplausos
Why is it that now whenever there's an upset you put a spoiler in the title? If Alcaraz had won I still would've known the result because you only don't put a spoiler when the favourite wins
Yeah, total BS
The media should stop hyping Carlos, or any player for that matter. It does nobody no good.
Why? It's media job. He stepped into arena where playing (good)tennis is just one of many skills required. Media reflect casual tennis fan desires. And casual tennis fan wanna see new Federer and Nadal. That creates pressure. Since it is hard to fill their shoes, media give little push. If Alcaraz and Sinner fail in that job, casual tennis fans and media will find new ones.
Great battle and great sportsmanship at the end 👍
You showed them all,Andrey❣️
