Andrey Rublev Reveals Near-Testicle Amputation

Andrey Rublev shared a harrowing health scare where he nearly lost a testicle due to an emergency surgery he underwent after feeling a 'weird sensation' following his US Open exit. Rushed to the hospital, he signed a consent form allowing for the potential amputation before doctors successfully operated on him just hours later. The world No. 7 expressed gratitude for his quick decision to seek medical help, noting he was just in time to avoid a life-altering procedure. After the surgery, Rublev resumed competition at the ATP 250 event in Stockholm, humorously recounting, 'I almost lost my ball.' He has since played and won his opening match in Stockholm, aiming to improve his chances of qualifying for the ATP Finals in Turin. Rublev's story highlights the importance of timely medical intervention in potentially serious health situations.
