THE LOWDOWN
World number six Andrey Rublev looked assured in a straight-sets victory over former US Open champion Dominic Thiem on Tuesday. The 25-year-old reached the quarter-finals at the Australian Open in 2021 and he has made the last eight at a major on six previous occasions, including at Roland-Garros and the US Open last season.
THE PREDICTION
World number 46 Emil Ruusuvuori came back from a set down to home hopeful Max Purcell on Tuesday but it took a remarkable 13-11 tiebreak in the fourth to close out. The Finn should be targeting a return to the top 40 this season after setting a career-high of 40th late last year but he has drawn one of the shorter straws here in a hungry-looking Andrey Rublev. 23-year-old Ruusuvuori is capable of an upset but the method of Rublev’s win over Thiem suggests the Russian can be backed to come through outright, probably in three.
