It promises to be a very exciting and entertaining weekend for the tennis fans as Stefanos Tsitsipas will be facing Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals of the Madrid Open. Tsitsipas is coming to this event after successfully defending his title at the Monte Carlo Masters. The Greek even reached the quarterfinals at the Barcelona Open where he was defeated by eventual winner Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets.

The fourth seed is in sublime form as he has defeated Lucas Pouille and Grigor Dimitrov with exactly identical scorelines of 6-3, 64 to reach the last eight as he takes on the in-form Russian, Andrey Rublev. Overall on tour, Tsitsipas’ only title has come in Monaco where he enjoys playing apart from the Monte Carlo Masters he has been very inconsistent. Despite reaching the finals in Rotterdam he lost to Felix Auger Aliassime and even reached the semifinals at the Mexican Open before bowing out against Cameron Norrie. So it will be interesting to see how he handles the pressure of a big game against the World No.8.

Andrey Rublev on the other hand is coming to this tournament fresh after winning the Serbia Open in Belgrade where he defeated World No.1 and local star Novak Djokovic and therefore he is oozing with confidence. The Russian had a slow start to his clay-court season on tour as he lost out in the round of 16 against Jannik Sinner at the Monte Carlo Masters. He then travelled to Serbia Open and defeated players like Taro Daniel, Fabio Fognini and Novak Djokovic en route to the title.

Therefore Rublev has carried that form to the Spanish capital as he came up with a hard-fought win over British youngster Jack Draper as he defeated him in three sets to set up a tie with another Englishman. He defeated Dan Evans in straight sets 7-6(7), 7-5 to enter the quarterfinals as he takes on Tsitsipas. Rublev has shown great form on clay this season and it looks like a very equal battle between familiar foes.

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andrey Rublev are familiar opponents and therefore the duo have faced each other a total of eight times and it is perfectly distributed between the two. Therefore this match will act as a tiebreaker as it is currently a 4-4 deadlock between them. However, Tsitsipas won the last meeting on clay at last year’s Monte Carlo Masters.

Stefanos Tsitsipas has blown hot and cold this year on tour. While his hustle to defend his title in Monaco must be admired, his struggles at Barcelona Open against Carlos Alcaraz also cannot be overlooked. Tsitsipas when on song can be a real force on clay courts as he has everything in his game to succeed and win the Madrid Open. But for that, he has to overcome the Rublev test.

On the other hand, Andrey Rublev is in splendid form and he is hitting the balls really well. He was surely in a fix against Jack Draper in the first round but he held his nerve and wrapped up the third set. His overall game has matured majorly and he is gradually becoming a force on all surfaces.

Prediction: Stefanos Tsitsipas in three sets
