Andrey Rublev vs Arthur Rinderknech prediction
Andrey Rublev reached his third quarter final of the year with a hard-fought victory over Ugo Humbert.
The 2022 champion overcame a second-set hiccup to prevail 6-4 6-7 6-3 against the 2024 winner of the tournament.
It sees the Russian reach the last eight in Dubai for a sixth time, where he will take on a third Frenchman in a row in the shape of Arthur Rinderknech.
The world number 31 ended Jack Draper’s hopes of marking his first tournament back since injury with a deep run by outlasting the Brit by a 7-5 6-7 6-4 scoreline.
This will be their fourth meeting with Rublev owning the head-to-head 3-0, although their most recent battle saw the fifth seed have to come from two sets down to wriggle through at the 2024 US Open.
The gap between the two has narrowed since then and Rinderknech will have a quiet belief he can do serious damage if he lands the big serve and takes time away at the net.
There’s certainly more than enough scope for over 21.5 games here or backing it to go the distance. Rublev will be a favourite with the bookies and has real pedigree at this event, so it may be worth taking a risk on the upset and Arthur getting off the mark against the Russian.
Andrey Rublev vs Arthur Rinderknech tip: Over 2.5 sets
