Marcus Giron vs Andrey Rublev Preview

Marcus Giron

Andrey Rublev’s quarterfinal defeat came at the hands of the eventual finalist and a player whose 20-match winning streak was ended only by Novak Djokovic. Rublev, who came into that match on an eight-match winning streak of his own, might not have been close to being a favorite but would have preferred to do a lot better than a 7-5, 6-3, 6-2 result.

Having already helped Russia win the ATP Cup earlier this season, Rublev had won five ATP titles in 2020, his best season by a long-distance and one that propelled him into the top 10 of the ATP Rankings. He starts off this competition as the fourth seed and in with a chance of going the distance where he could face Medvedev again – this time in the final.

Marcus Giron on the other hand qualified for this event following a three-match losing streak. This was after having started off well in the Murray River Open where he reached the third round before losing to Dan Evans in straight sets. Alexander Zverev inflicted a crushing win against Giron in the opening round of the Australian Open before a shock loss to Tallon Griekspoor meant he will now need to restart finding his rhythm all over again.

And it wouldn’t help too much that he starts off his attempt to break his losing streak with a match against Rublev. Giron did have a solid last season though, making it to the quarterfinal in Antwerp having started off as a qualifier and the third round at the Paris Masters also after having won two rounds in the qualifying.
