THE PREDICTION
World number seven Andrey Rublev overcame a tough challenge in French cult hero Corentin Moutet on Wednesday, ousting the tricky Frenchman in four sets to back-up another tough opener against Laslo Djere. The 25-year-old finally broke his Masters 1000 duck with an excellent campaign in Monte-Carlo back in April, beating Holger Rune in the final, but he has been caught out a few times in recent weeks to throw some doubt on this potential thriller. World number 48 Lorenzo Sonego can be much better than his current ranking suggests, particularly on clay, and he proved that on Wednesday with a straight-sets victory over in-form Ugo Humbert. The 28-year-old beat 30th seed Ben Shelton in four sets on Sunday as he continues to enjoy a recent return to form and he beat Rublev in the quarter-finals of the Italian Open two years ago to take their only clay-court encounter.
However, Rublev beat the Italian in straight sets in the final of the Vienna Open in 2020 to see a finely-poised head-to-head record here and backing the Russian to earn at least two sets looks the most sensible way to avoid picking a winner from a match that could well go to five.
