Rublev Surpasses All Before Him: His Dramatic Meltdown Stuns Wimbledon on Day Two
Wimbledon has seen its fair share of dramatic moments, but Andrey Rublev’s outburst on day two may take the top prize for 2024.
The sixth seed’s frustration boiled over during his first-round defeat to Argentine Francisco Comesana. With the score tied at one set apiece, Rublev made a costly error, hitting a wayward shot that allowed Comesana to break his serve and take a 4-1 lead in the third set.
The 26-year-old Russian reacted furiously, smashing his racket on his knee six times and shouting angrily before hitting himself again. This emotional meltdown left the audience at the All-England Club in shock.
Rublev’s inability to control his temper ultimately cost him the match, with Comesana advancing to the second round with a 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 7-6 victory.
BBC’s Wimbledon commentator Andy Stevenson remarked, “We’ve seen some overreactions at this year’s Wimbledon, but that’s extraordinary from Rublev. The man is playing his second-ever grass court match and is 4-1 up on him in the third set.”

Former tennis player Dom Inglot added, “I think Rublev might need some medical attention to his knee after that outburst,” to which Stevenson replied, “He is unravelling in front of our eyes.”
While Rublev’s fiery temperament has flared up before, this latest incident stands out for its intensity, leaving fans and commentators alike stunned.
