Rublev, ranked No. 15 in men\u2019s singles<\/a>, was fined for using foul language during his match against American Tristan Boyer.\u00a0<\/p>\n But in the heat of competition, Rublev doesn\u2019t feel he should be docked thousands because of his words.\u00a0<\/p>\n “Depends on the situation,” he said, per The New York Post<\/a>, before winning his third-round match in five sets on Saturday. “When you are talking to yourself in a bad way, it\u2019s my decision how I do it. You cannot, in my opinion, you cannot charge for this. If you talk to the referee or umpire with bad words, yes, like when you do it towards someone or you scream on all courts, yes, obviously. But when you talk to yourself, it\u2019s your decision how you talk. It doesn\u2019t matter even if the umpire hears what you are saying or not for this. I don\u2019t think so.”<\/p>\n CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Andrey Rublev was fined $3,000 for using foul language during his second-round match at the U.S. Open.

It\u2019s life,” he continued. “The same with every person outside in life in crucial moments, in stressful moments. I don\u2019t believe all of us are super holy and never say bad words in the crucial moments. It\u2019s the same thing\u2026 like I said if you\u2019re doing it towards someone or you\u2019re doing it too much openly, yes, but with yourself, it\u2019s your decision how you talk.”<\/p>\n Rublev isn\u2019t the only Russian who was fined this year at the U.S. Open.
