Alex de Minaur vs Andrey Rublev prediction

Alex de Minaur edged to a narrow win over Quentin Halys in Tokyo.

The Aussie came up clutch at the death to bag a 3-6 7-6 7-5 victory over the Frenchman.

The fifth seed will now take on Andrey Rublev for a ninth time following the Russian’s 6-2 3-6 6-4 success over his compatriot Roman Safiullin.

The match-up is intriguingly poised at 4-4 with Rublev winning three of the past four meetings. Only one of the previous eight encounters has finished in straight sets, so it seems indicative of their match-up that there are spells with fluctuating momentum.

Demon has the better overall form of late, but pegging it to go three seems worth the punt.  

Alex de Minaur vs Andrey Rublev tip: Over 2.5 sets
