Income Of Rp. 111 Billion, Russian Tennis Player Andrey Rublev Does Not Yet Have His Own Apartment

JAKARTA - Tennis star Andrey Rublev has a total income of 5.5 million pounds (Rp111 billion). However, he still couldn't afford an apartment.

World number 8 Rublev became a multi-millionaire at the age of 23. This year alone he earned 700 thousand pounds (Rp14 billion).

The Russian is unbeaten in an ATP 500 event in 21 matches, and reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open last month.

However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Rublev revealed that his life may not be as luxurious as we thought.

The four-time Grand Slam quarter-finalist who lives in Moscow, said that her peak tennis fees meant she couldn't buy her own property.

"In 2020 I will have to pay my team members for five months without competing because of COVID," he said ahead of the Dubai Tennis Championships reported by the Daily Star, Thursday, March 18.

"Luckily I don't have to pay for a plane ticket. I still make money, but tennis is a very expensive sport. "

Rublev hopes to win the 5th consecutive ATP 500 tournament in Dubai this week.

He will face American Taylor Fritz in the next round of 16.
