Playing style

Rublev is anoffensive baselinerwith a big forehand – his favorite shot, and has a dangerous and consistent two-handed backhand. His running forehand is particularly lethal because of his consistency and comfort with the shot, making many passing shots with it. Despite his power, Rublev is often hyper-aggressive and can enter situations where he makes consecutiveunforced errors,causing technical and mental difficulty to follow. However, he can also demonstrate periods when his forehand is elusive. He states that he does not prefer a particular tennis surface.

Rublev has a powerful first serve that often reaches 200+ km/h (125+ mph). Hissecond serve,however, is underwhelming because of his high number ofdouble faultsduring matches, as well as being much slower than his first serve. In 2020,Yevgeny Kafelnikovsaid the following about Rublev's game: "I think his whole game, it just has some elements of playing junior tennis, hitting the ball harder and harder. If he improves in those two departments, his footwork and second serve, his whole game is going to change."
