Andrey Rublev vs Arthur Fils prediction

Andrey Rublev reached his first final of the year with a comeback triumph over Hamad Medjedovic.

The Russian hit back to prevail 3-6 6-2 6-2 after the Serbian qualifier had threatened another upset in Barcelona.

Fifth seed Rublev will now meet Arthur Fils for a third time after the Frenchman claimed a 3-6 6-3 6-2 win over Spanish youngster Rafael Jodar.

The head-to-head stands at 1-1 with Fils winning their most recent tussle - and their only previous one on clay - by a 6-2 6-3 scoreline in Monte Carlo last year. 

Fils lost his first final of the year in Doha but should put on a stronger showing here and may have the greater consistency in this showdown.
