Andrey Rublev vs Gabriel Diallo prediction
Andrey Rublev is producing the sort of form to suggest he can push back towards the top ten this year.
The Russian was a fixture for five seasons amongst that elite bracket but 2025 was a weak campaign that has seen him attempting to stay in the top 20.
In 2026 he has reached the last four at three tournaments and is also a former semi-finalist here, suggesting his appetite and form are both back.
His first hurdle this time around pits him against Gabriel Diallo, who despatched Mattia Bellucci 7-6 6-4 to claim just a second win in eight attempts.
This is a heavy-hitting match-up but in these conditions it’s hard to punch through. Rublev has the forehand to do that, however, and he should have too much in his Plan A for the rising Canadian.
