US Open funny moment
Russian star Andrey Rublev is set to face American Tristan Boyer in the second round of the US Open after a confident first-round victory. But it isn’t just his tennis that has his fans excited—it’s his off-court chemistry with his new coach, retired Russian great Marat Safin.
Since teaming up, Rublev and Safin have brought a sense of fun and freedom to training sessions, something fans have noticed and celebrated. One viral video from the practice courts this week captured Rublev, Safin, and Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik in a light-hearted moment.

The clip shows the trio aiming repeated tennis ball smashes at the glass windows surrounding the court, drawing laughter from spectators. Despite dozens of attempts, none of them managed to break through. At one point, Safin even cracked open a fresh can of balls after the group exhausted those already on court.
