Kisses like cream

Her walk is so mean

And every jaw drop

When she's in those jeans

By now, many throughout tennis circles are familiar with Andrey Rublev’s one-time appearance in a boy band several years ago singing a cover of “Steal My Girl” by One Direction.

The topic resurfaced earlier this month after Rublev lost the Dubai final to countryman Daniil Medvedev. Asked about the experience, the 25-year old said, “I explain this thousand times. I was just a guest there. Because I like music a lot, I wanted to just to see how it's inside the studio, how the job are making those things. I ask my friends can I join just to see what you're doing. They say, ‘We have better idea. If you want, you can have little part.’”

Does it ever drive [Rublev] crazy, just how fast the night changes?

Flash forward to Monday evening, when Rublev’s connection to One Direction grew unexpectedly stronger.

Reuniting with Medvedev for the “Tennis Showdown” exhibition in Mexico City, the two friends crossed paths with one of the former group’s members in Louis Tomlinson. Introductions were made and photos were snapped.

Rublev would go on to win the friendly encounter, 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (4), at the Monumental Plaza de Toros Mexico.

Though Medvedev just saw his 19-match win streak on the ATP Tour ended by Carlos Alcaraz in the Indian Wells final, the 2021 US Open champion’s dominant period that included three titles in three weeks ahead of his best BNP Paribas Open showing propelled him back to the Top 5.

As for Rublev, he comes into the Miami Open ranked No. 7. He reached the semifinals of the 1000-level event two years ago.

AS FEDERER WOWS WITH HIS PLAY, HAMILTON'S PLAYWRIGHT ADMIRES FROM AFAR

Tennis’ popularity and global crosscurrents have made for some interesting bedfellows. The mutual admiration society between Roger Federer and Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda is one of the more unusual pairings, at least at first blush.

The five-time U.S. Open champion and the multiple Tony- and Pulitzer-prize winning Broadway megastar have never met. But Miranda is an avid tennis fan—and very public Federer devotee. Federer, who enjoys a good performance as much as anyone, caught Hamilton during the 2015 U.S. Open and was spellbound. When he gushed about the musical in a post-match interview, an online bromance was born. Miranda responded on Twitter:

“Thank YOU, @rogerfederer. I wrote half the thing while watching you play.”

Federer was equally impressed.

“I saw Hamilton during the Open, and thought it was mind blowing,” Federer told TENNIS. “The amount of speed and text that they were singing and rapping was jaw-dropping. The show kept me entertained from start to finish, and it was also a fun way to learn and experience some history about one of America’s founding fathers.”

During this year’s Australian Open, Miranda picked up the thread again. The Broadway maestro seemed more preoccupied with Federer’s surprising run than his Oscar nomination for the original song “How Far You’ll Go” from the movie Moana. He relayed the Oscar nod to fans by saying his phone rang when watching the tournament on tape delay.

Miranda added that he was “very grateful” for the nomination—and in the same tweet begged: “DON’T SPOIL THE FEDERER MATCH I STILL HAVEN’T FINISHED.”

Federer is happy to help. “I did know that he was a tennis fan and that he once said that he wrote half of Hamilton watching my matches,” says Federer. “I would like to invite him so he can watch my matches live and not on tape delay.”
