Rublev went 0-3 in his group stage matches and grew so frustrated that he smashed his knee with his racket several times, drawing blood. But Kyrgios believes that the 26-year-old still has plenty to be proud of this season and wants to assist Rublev.<\/p>\n<p>After a triumphant year, Rublev\u2019s 2023 season came to a disappointing end when he failed to win a match at the ATP Finals and was eliminated. Following an outburst while facing Daniil Medvedev in his opening match of the week, his frustrations got the better of him when he took on\u00a0Carlos Alcaraz on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>While losing to the world No 2\u00a0 &#8211; a defeat that guaranteed that he was eliminated in the group stage &#8211; he smashed his knee with his racket multiple times, leaving it bleeding. Kyrgios has now suggested that he flies to Rublev to help the 14-time title winner with his mental game before the 2024 season.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian has been commentating on the ATP Finals for Tennis Channel this week and made the offer after watching Rublev lose a dead rubber to Alexander Zverev. \u201cI think he\u2019s just got to be a bit nicer to himself,\u201d the 28-year-old said during one of his punditry appearances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive tennis news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Just in <\/strong> <strong>Andy Murray withdraws from Davis Cup showdown against Novak Djokovic&#8217;s Serbia[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/72\/590x\/secondary\/Rublev-knee-5073176.jpg?r=1700316878349\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve said it over and over again that he\u2019s had a great season, won Monte Carlo. You look at all the past champions that won Monte Carlo, it\u2019s an amazing accomplishment. So he went 0-3 against some pretty tough opponents but I don\u2019t think he should go home super disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kyrgios now wants to see Rublev work on his mentality ahead of January\u2019s Australian Open, something he said he could help with. The former world No 13 continued: \u201cI think he\u2019s made three quarter-finals this year in the Grand Slams so I think moving into Australia he\u2019s got to be in a good mindset moving forward. I mean, I\u2019ll come fly to wherever he is and try to help him out mentally. I think I\u2019ve got that down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rublev has reached nine Grand Slam quarter-finals in his career but has never been able to win one of them to advance further. Explaining what he needed to do to get to that next level, Kyrgios admitted that the world No 5 had often been unlucky when facing difficult opponents.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Alcaraz makes ATP Finals comment before Djokovic clash as Kyrgios calls out pal[UPDATES] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Carlos Alcaraz coach shares &#8216;difficult&#8217; fomula Djokovic cracked to outdo Federer[EXPERT] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Alcaraz had deep chat with coach to banish mental fatigue as star lifts lid[QUOTES] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/72\/590x\/secondary\/Rublev-5073183.jpg?r=1700316878493\"><\/p>\n<p>But the Australian also explained how Rublev\u2019s mental woes would take their toll in the latter rounds of Majors, having learned a lot when he reached his own Grand Slam final at Wimbledon in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s run into a couple of tough opponents, run into Foe at the US Open, it\u2019s a tough feat to pass,\u201d Kyrgios added. \u201cBut I think in a Grand Slam, I learned that last year, it\u2019s just such a mental grind. Physically you actually feel okay, it\u2019s just mentally being in the same spot for over two weeks. It\u2019s brutal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I think mentally if you\u2019re going to get so angry and anxious all the time, you just feel drained by the quarter-final stage. So if he can maybe just channel those emotions a bit better, I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m saying that, but if he can channel your emotions a bit better maybe he can get past the quarter-finals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/tennis\/1836487\/Nick-Kyrgios-Andrey-Rublev-ATP-Finals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Nick Kyrgios has offered to fly to wherever Andrey Rublev is in a bid to help the world No 5 work on his mentality after <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportstoft.com\/tennis\/nick-kyrgios-offers-to-fly-to-rublev-and-help-after-star-bloodied-his-knee\/\" title=\"Nick Kyrgios offers to &#8216;fly to Rublev&#8217;
