Andrey Rublev: Brand endorsements

Andrey Rublev is a Russian professional tennis player. With 14 ATP singles titles, including an ATP 1000 title in Monte Carlo this year, Rublev has emerged as one of the new breed of young and exciting talents to break into the upper echelons of men’s tennis.

The 26-year-old is yet to win a Grand Slam, with quarterfinals having proved to be his ceiling to date. With age on his side and a bag full of talent, however, Rublev is sure to be making headlines for many years to come. 

In this article, we look at some of Rublev’s brand endorsement and sponsorship deals.
