Andrey Rublev vs Frances Tiafoe: Preview

Andrey Rublev is almost unstoppable right now. Starting with the Australian Open, where the Russian reached the third round losing to Marin Čilić ( 5-7, 6-7, 6-3, 3-6 ). He also made it to the semifinals but went off the ATP Rotterdam Open, going down against Felix Auger-Aliassime ( 7-6, 4-6, 2-6 ).

Rublev next surprised all his fans by taking his revenge against the Canadian, winning the Open 13 tournament in straight sets ( 7-5, 7-6 ). The Russian carried that fire to the Dubai Tennis Championship, where he won the finals splendidly against Jiří Veselý ( 6-3, 6-4 ).

Frances Tiafoe has been displaying a disappointing performance this year. His last tournament before the Indian Wells was the Australian Open, where he lost in the second round to Taylor Fritz ( 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 ). Last year, however, the American ended the season brilliantly, reaching the top 40 in the world rankings.

His break this year was due to an elbow injury that Tiafoe faced and took a month off to recover for. In the Indian Wells, as the twenty-eighth seed, the American prevailed over Brandon Nakashima ( 6-4, 6-4 ) in the second round.

In terms of the 2022 stats of the two players, it’s very evident that the Russian player Andrey Rublev is in great form and has am amazing chance of making it to the top. Though the American has one over Rublev in terms of head-to-head count, right now, Tiafoe has just recovered from an injury and hasn’t played much this year.

Prediction: Andrey Rublev is expected to win in three sets.
