Rublev: ‘I hope there will soon be peace in every country’

Andrey Rublev used his run to the final in Dubai to once again call for peace in the world.

He has spoken many times in the last year about his wishes for an end to war following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Most recently, after his semi-final win over Alexander Zverev, he told the press: “It’s hard to talk about it because even if you try to – how you say – just play tennis or something, to stay practising and stuff, you know it’s affecting you even if you are not part or with or something, but still it’s affecting a lot.
