Andrey Rublev continues to fight on as he reaches the quarter-finals of the French Open for the second time in his career. After a hattrick of 4-set wins in the first three rounds, Rublev had an early wrap to his 4th round match as Jannik Sinner was forced to retire mid-way in the third set with the score at 1-6, 6-4, 2-0 for Rublev. This will be Rublev’s 7th quarter-final appearance of the season having won 3 titles already.

This will be the 7th meeting between the two players and just the second meeting on Clay. Cilic won their first-ever meeting back in 2015 and Rublev then went on to win the next four consecutive matches before Cilic won their last clash in the third round of the 2022 Australian Open. Rublev leads the head-to-head 4-2.

Cilic will come into the tie with a career claycourt record of 185-105 and is 8-4 on the surface this season while having a season record of 17-11 across all surfaces. Rublev will take the court with a career claycourt record of 92-57 and is 11-3 on the surface this season while having a 29-7 season record so far.

Looking at these numbers and considering their form in the 2022 season, it will be a tough match for sure as a first-time semi-finalist will emerge from the battle. While Rublev has been in better form, Cilic has better numbers to go with on the surface and it could be a vital factor in important points. Expect a fierce battle in which Rublev should just edge past the Croatian.

Prediction: Andrey Rublev to win in 5-sets.
