Karolina Muchova/Jakub Mensik vs Andrey Rublev/Mirra Andreevaprediction
Andrey Rublev and Mirra Andreeva have been arguably the story of this tournament so far, stunning Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori in the first round. They rode the momentum garnered by that win into the quarter-finals, once again coming through in the clutch to win a second consecutive third-set tie-break and knock out Diana Shnaider and Casper Ruud, the latter having reached the final in 2025.
Karolina Muchova and Jakub Mensik are extremely familiar with each other’s games and that chemistry has been evident on court with them needing little time to get to grips with play in this short format. Having knocked out an All-American squad of Emma Navarro and Tommy Paul, they can also handle the crowd not being on their side.
However, French Open singles champion Andreeva knows what it takes to reach the latter stages of tournaments despite her tender age and has brought that with her to the doubles scene. Andrey Rublev is playing some of the best tennis we’ve seen from him in a while and to hold their nerve against such quality opposition cannot be ignored. We feel more confident in them keeping their composure under intense pressure and backing the pair should be seriously considered.
