Andrey Rublev has officially launched his own fashion brand, Rublo, and confirmed that all earnings will be donated to child welfare charities.
Rublev took to his personal X channel to announce the launch of his clothing apparel store, which includes hoodies, t-shirts, jumpers, and other items for purchase.
The Russian ATP star included a short video on his launch post that depicted an anime version of Rublev before the brand's logo appeared on the screen.
Alongside the launch video, Rublev wrote a heartfelt message about the mission and aims behind his brand-new fashion store. In the post, the 26-year-old said his clothing line is not about income but rather about doing the right thing before ending his message with thanks to his team and fans.
"I just want to be honest and speak the truth. Everyone deserves a chance. All the income from the collection (100%) will go to children in need. "It’s not about business this time, because I’m not gaining anything. I believe that people’s ego only brings bad things, and the bigger the ego, the worse things happen."
"No matter how people treat you, even if they treat you badly, the most important thing is to keep the light inside and make your ego as small as possible."
The unselfish move from Rublev is admirable as he is clearly following a passion that is close to his heart. However, it is not the first time the Russian player has shown his intention to move away from a materialistic world after he started wearing his own clothes on the court rather than Nike-branded attire.
However, the 26-year-old is also well paid for his tennis career in tennis as the current world number five became the 30th man in history to take his earnings past the $20 million mark in early November.
