Alexander Zverev vs Andrey Rublev: Preview

Alexander Zverev has regained form and he has done that in some style. After the semi-final exit in French Open, Zverev had a tough time on the court. He had forgettable outings at Halle Open and Wimbledon. Post that, the German tennis star came into Cincinnati Masters and thrashed everyone who came in his way.

Although Stefanos Tsitsipas gave him a very tough competition in the semi-finals, he was unable to hold his nerve under pressure which eventually allowed Zverev to win the contest. On the other hand, Rublev would be riding high on confidence after the fantastic semi-final win against top-seeded Medvedev.

Medvedev started off in an emphatic fashion and won the first set, however, Rublev launched an impressive counter-attack and caught the World No. 2 tennis star off guard on several occasions. Needless to say, Rublev would look to replicate his semi-final performance in the final clash as well.

Rublev has been nothing short of sensational at the Cincinnati Open. He scripted the biggest upset of the tournament by going past top-seeded Medvedev in the semis. However, the odds will still be in Zverev’s favor in the final clash as the German has been relentless in the tournament and he knows how to handle pressure in tough games.
