Andrey Rublev has once again raised concerns about his welfare after he unleashed a furious tirade against himself en route to losing his first-round match at Wimbledon.<br /><br />The emotional Russian whacked his legs seven times with his racquet after an erroneous return in a tight match against Francisco Comesana on No 2 Court, which he went on to lose 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 7-6.<br /><br />In the fourth game of the third set, with the two players having won a set each, Comesana broke Rublev for the second time in the set to go 4-1 up, leading to a furious reaction from the Russian. <br /><br />Back in May after his French Open meltdown, Rublev admitted 'I don't remember behaving worse at a Slam ever' after he kicked and screamed his way out of the Paris Slam.<br /><br />Now it is his antics at Wimbledon that have sounded the alarms. <br /><br />I think Rublev needs to see a sports psychologist. This happens far too often, and it's pretty excessive. <br /><br />Following his meltdown, Rublev struggled to regain his composure, and in a tight fourth set, it went to a tie-break where he soon found himself burning through challenges, eventually losing his cool and the match.<br /><br />Asked about his latest meltdown by Mail Sport, Rublev said: 'I would not do it if I was able to hit the racquet on the floor... because we're not allowed to hit them with the grass. <br /><br />'I don't know why that moment, I couldn't take it anymore. I needed to let my emotions out. But thanks, everything is fine. Again, I was a bit lucky.'<br /><br />It is a problem that Rublev knows does not come with a quick fix - but he needs to get to grips with his emotions on the court. <br /><br />'Of course, I didn't behave today as in Paris, but still I could do much better,' he said.<br /><br />'This is not the way. Of course, it's the main priority, to be able to during the match to be positive. <br /><br />Asked how he can get himself back to the top level, having become the first top 10 seed in the men's singles to fall, he added: 'Some matches. To win some matches to get this kind of rhythm back. It's not easy. <br /><br />'Since I lost in Paris, I think I didn't play matches for almost two weeks. Then I played only one match in Halle. Then again almost two weeks. <br /><br />'When the rhythm is a bit breaking, it's not easy. You need one, or two matches to again feel this confidence back. I guess that's what I need now.'
