THE PREDICTION
World number six Andrey Rublev came back from a set down to beat Cam Norrie on Friday, putting last weekend’s Laver Cup disappointment behind him. The 25-year-old reached the quarter-finals of the US Open for a fourth time earlier this month but a straight-sets defeat to compatriot Daniil Medvedev once again displayed the gulf, not so much in quality but in variety of weapons, between himself and the very top players on tour. World number 36 Ugo Humbert overcame Lorenzo Sonego in three sets on Thursday to maintain his strong form from the Davis Cup group stages in Manchester, where he beat the aforementioned Norrie and Stan Wawrinka but lost to Alex de Minaur as France missed out by the slightest of margins. Humbert beat Rublev in the 2021 Halle Open final at the peak of his powers but the Frenchman has spent much of the last two seasons working his way back to this level. Back Rublev to edge through outright or consider a one-off on this match to see three sets, with the Russian leading their tight head-to-head 2-1.
