Andrey Rublev took part in the first main draw match of the 2023 Monte-Carlo Masters and it resulted in a funny situation.

The Russian teamed up with his fellow compatriot Karen Khachanov in doubles to beat Jamie Murray and Michael Venus 7-5, 6-4 but the funnies moment followed after the match. The doubles match was the first match of the main draw at the Court Rainier III and after that, the first singles main draw match followed.

Borna Coric was about to take on Nicolas Jarry but when entering the court, players encountered someone that they wouldn't expect in the tunnel, Andrey Rublev. The first main draw victor of the day was still there and signing autographs for the fans.

The players' paths inevitably crossed, leading to an amusing encounter. Instead of rushing or appearing flustered, Rublev remained calm and collected, effortlessly sidestepping the incoming athletes while continuing to engage with his fans. He even found time to offer his well-wishes to Coric and Jarry, demonstrating his sportsmanship and camaraderie in the heat of the tournament.

This entertaining episode showcases Rublev's commitment to his supporters, as well as the warm and friendly atmosphere that characterizes the Monte-Carlo Masters and the ATP Tour.
