It is also his second tournament since returning from a three-month suspension in May.

Rublev arrived in Paris after finishing as runners-up at the Hamburg Open, where he had lost to Flavio Cobolli in straight sets.

He faced Sinner at the 2024 Canadian Open and defeated the Italian in three sets, he will hope to repeat the same result.

On the other hand, Andrey Rublev struggled to be at his best after winning the Qatar Open in February. The Russian partnered with Marat Safin to help him bounce back to form. However, there wasn’t an instant success. It was at the Hamburg Open he won four consecutive matches for the first time on clay this season.

At the French Open, he claimed his first-round victory against qualifier Lloyd Harris 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. The No.17 seed then bear Adam Walton 7-6(1), 6-1, 7-6(5) to set up a third-round showdown against Arthur Fils. Unfortunately, Fils sustained an injury during his second-round tie against Jaume Munar, which forced him to withdraw from the third round. Rublev advanced to the fourth round courtesy of a walkover.

Jannik Sinner vs. Andrey Rublev: Match Prediction

The Italian won their previous encounter at the 2024 Cincinnati Open in three sets. However, Rublev is one of the four players to have beaten him last season. The World No.15 beat Sinner in the quarter-finals of the Canadian Open last year in three sets.

However, the fourth-round clash will be a tricky tie for both players. Sinner is currently playing his best tennis, while Rublev is gaining confidence after each win on the surface. The latter cannot be underestimated, as he has proven on previous occasions that he can beat top players, while the former will be counting on his incredible form on clay since his return from suspension.

Match prediction: Jannik Sinner to win in four sets.
