Rublitrov? Dimidrey? Either way you call them, the ATP Tour’s favorite bromance is officially back in Montreal, after Grigor Dimitrov crashed No. 5 seed Andrey Rublev’s interview with Tennis Channel on Thursday.

Speaking to Prakash Amritraj after his opening match against Tomas Martin Etcheverry, Rublev was breaking down the mental aspect of his 7-6 (2), 6-2 victory when he was suddenly distracted by something just off screen:

“My love Grigor is here also,” Rublev interrupted with a grin, adding, “Now I cannot talk because you’re here!”

After being invited to “come give the guy a hug” by Amritraj, Dimitrov was seen walking behind the Tennis Channel desk to do just that as the pair congratulated each other on their respective victories.

Under Rublev’s watchful eye, No. 7 seed Dimitrov routed Australian qualifier Rinky Hijikata 6-1, 6-0 on Court 5 to book a round of 16 meeting with Alexei Popyrin.

“It’s very rare that we’ve got bromances from the ATP Tour at the same time over here, so we gotta get a little love between these two guys,” Amritraj said, to which Rublev replied: “I forgot what I needed to say.”

At this point the Russian officially declared the interview to be over, signing off with a cheerful, “Guys, thank you so much, see you tomorrow.”

The 26-year-old looked to be in high spirits after securing his first ever victory in Montreal, having come into the alternating ATP Masters 1000 events with a combined 1-4 record. His lone win on Canadian soil came back in 2021 in Toronto over Fabio Fognini.

This time around, Rublev opted to skip the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris—which was played on the clay-courts of Roland Garros—in favor of gaining more hard-court practice and “recovering mentally.” The gamble seems to be paying off, with Rublev snapping a four-match winning streak with a run to the semifinals in Umag and quarterfinals in Washington D.C.

“I didn’t play Olympic Games because we felt like mentally I was not ready to play,” Rublev explained, “because of my last results and the way I was behaving on court…

“We decided to give priority to my (singles) career. We took time off to try to recover a bit mentally. Then we played some ATP 250s and went earlier to America to prepare and be much more ready for Montreal.”

Rublev faces American qualifier Brandon Nakashima in the third round. It will be their third career meeting, and their second time facing off in 2024 with Nakashima earning a straight-sets upset in Barcelona to level their head-to-head at a win apiece.
