Last year, the duo faced off against each other in the singles category twice. While Rublev beat Dimitrov at Indian Wells, the Bulgarian took his revenge on the player at their Round of 16 match in Vienna.

At the ongoing Masters event in Shanghai, both players appear to be in great form. The two need to keep their head in the game and watch out for unforced errors. In their upcoming match, the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov might have a slight edge as the win over Alcaraz boosted his confidence. However, Rublev would be eager to exact revenge on Dimitrov for his loss against him in October last year.

Match Prediction: Grigor Dimitrov to win in a three setter.
