Heart-Warming Scenes at Italian Open 2023 as Fan Girl Turns Emotional Upon Russian Star Andrey Rublev’s Kind Gesture

Sports would be empty without its fans. Since people weren’t allowed to attend matches during the pandemic, many players said that their morale dipped. Fans love their players, and players love their fans. This cliched statement was recently epitomized when a fan came to meet her favorite player, Andrey Rublev. However, she could not control her emotions as her idol repaid her lovely gesture.

This was not the only instance when fans have become starry-eyed at the sight of Rublev. Last year, two amateur players had the chance to meet their idols, and they did not let the chance slip from their hands. 

Andrey Rublev leaves a fan emotionally dazed

The Russian player is currently in the midst of his Italian Open stint and has advanced to round two. One major part of being a player of his stature is fan interaction. To keep his support alive, Rublev does not shy away from being open to his fans whenever they ask for a picture or a signature. 

The world number 6 recently met one of his ardent fans at the Italian Open and took pictures with them. The gesture by Rublev sent his fan over the edge, as she started crying tears of happiness. Rublev was delighted to find out how much he was loved by his followers and hugged her back. The emotional video was shared by the official Instagram account of ATP Tour.
