Following his win over Felix Auger-Aliassime in the final of the 2024 Madrid Open, Andrey Rublev stated that this was the "most proud" title of his career.

"I would say this is the most proud title of my career. I was almost dead every day. I was not sleeping at night. The last three, four days I didn't sleep," Rublev said [via ATPTour.com].

Rublev sad that he managed to secure the title despite battling an illness and sleep deprivation for the past three to four days which made the win even more special to him.

"I have no words. If you knew what I had been through in the past nine days you would not imagine that I would be able to win a title. I'm incredibly happy. That one week changed everything because now it looks like I was not losing the last weeks in the first round!" he added.

This ATP Masters 1000 win propelled Andrey Rublev up two spots in the ATP World Rankings, elevating him from World No.8 to World No.6. His next tournament will be the 2024 Italian Open. Last year, the Russian reached the fourth round in Rome before being defeated by Yannick Hanfmann.
