Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Andrey Rublev: Prediction 

Stefanos Tsitsipas

Tsitsipas is an artist on court such is his mastery over his game. His serve remains his most potent weapon. But the slow nature of the surface will impede the playing style of Rublev more than Tsitsipas.

Fatigue can also be a factor for both players as they are both coming off difficult tough matches. The one who deals with the conditions better will win this contest. 

Match Prediction: Stefanos Tsitsipas will defeat Andrey Rublev in three sets.
