In the final of the ATP500 Open in Hamburg, Germany, in September this year, Rublev defeated Tsitsipas 6:3/3:6/7-5.
In the final of the ATP500 St. Petersburg Open in October, Rublev defeated Churich 7:6/6:4 to lift the second ATP500 class of his career.
At the Atp500 Vienna Open in November, Rublev crisply defeated Sonego in two 6–4.
In addition, Rublev has two lower-division champions———— doha and Adelaide at the beginning of the year.
And rublev also did well in the three Grand Slams held this year, the fourth round of the Australian Open, the quarterfinals of the French Open and the quarterfinals of the US Open.
Rublev broke into the world's top ten for the first time with his outstanding results this season and was shortlisted for the year-end finals, although he lost the first two rounds of the group stage, but defeated the strategically abandoned Baby Tim in the third round 6:2/7:5 to win the first victory of his first year-end finals trip, which also paid a happy end to his radiant 2020 season.
Compared to Rublev's previous seasons, he was able to win three atp500 titles in the 2020 season, which is already a big improvement and a very happy thing for him.
Of course, there is still a big gap between Rublev's three atp500 class champions and Medvedev's one of the Russian troikas, a Paris Masters champion and a year-end finals champion, but this does not deny Rublev's progress.
In this regard, Russia's Tsar Safin, that is, the handsome tsar who loves to wrestle, said in an interview with the media: Is there any significance in Rublev's victory this year? If truth be told, that doesn't mean anything, he won five tournaments, but those weren't masters, grand slams, Novak won no more titles than he did, but won the year-end number one.
Some fans think that Safin is pouring cold water on Rublev or hitting rublev, but the author does not think so. Because what Safine said is really true, rublev really only won three atp500 titles, while Djoyo took the Australian Open. Lubrev's three titles combined do not add up to the points of a Djokovic Australian Open champion.
The author believes that Safine said this to encourage Rublev not to be proud, not to be overwhelmed by the fact that he has won three atp500 level events, but to continue to improve his strength and pursue the championship of a bigger event.
It is believed that rublev, as a professional player, will not be affected by Safin's so-called blow or cold water, but actively draw nourishment from Safine's evaluation and let himself grow faster.
Rublev can not live up to the good intentions of Tsar Safin to you Oh, the author believes that the handsome Rublev will break through himself in 2021 to win a bigger tournament! (Source: Tennis House Author: Tennis Rookie)
