Andrey and Denis both are known for their fearless performance and their high risk taking attitude. Both players tend to make errors when in excitement. Russian player Andrey is known for his deadly forehand and strong baseline play. Rublev is a capable server as well, though his second serve is a huge liability.

Being a left-hander often gives the Canadian player Denis an advantage and his single-handed backhand is his match-winning shot. His serve is powerful as well along with a steady forehand.

Prediction– Andrey Rublev to win in three sets
