Andrey Rublev

Andre Rublev is a Russian professional tennis player with a career-high ranking of No.5 in the world on 13 September 2021. He has won 8 ATP singles in his career and he is only 24 years old now. Rublev has made a great push to his career in 2021 getting a lot of recognition. In 2021, the Russian made his top 5 debut, won the ATP and Davis Cups, and also won an Olympic gold medal in mixed doubles. The 24-year-old, coming off his best-ever season till date, would look to reach deep into the tournament as he aims to win his first Grand Slam title.

Gianluca Mager has not had a good time on the Tour recently. After a first-round exit from the US Open, his quarter-final run at the 2021 Sofia Open is his best result in a string of results that have seen him exit in the first rounds after winning his qualifiers. He last played in the ATP Adelaide International 2,  losing to Karen Kachanov in the Round of 16.

Andrey Rublev will be coming into the competition brimming with confidence. The Russian would look to carry on from his career-best 2021 as the young star would look to climb further up the rankings and challenge for the title in a significantly weakened field.

Rublev would thus be looking to reach deep into the tournament and an early exit won’t be a good start to the new season. Mager meanwhile would not be pleased to be handed such a tough draw in the very first round. The Italian would just look to put up a decent fight in an inevitable-looking defeat.

Match Prediction-  Rublev to win in straight sets.
