World No.7 Andrey Rublev of Russia will take on Serbia’s Filip Krajinovic in the second round of the 2022 Rome Open on Tuesday, May 10.
Andrey Rublev had a tremendous start to the year and is coming to Rome with a impressive 25-7 season record. The Russian already secured three titles, the being the Marseille Open and the Dubai Open in addition to the Serbia Open. He had a difficult start to the clay season, but he registers a stellar comeback in Belgrade where he defeated the World no.1 Novak Djokovic to claim the Title. The 24-year-old is 7-2 on clay this season and in his most recent performance, he finished as a quarterfinalist in Madrid. Rublev defeated two Britons in Jack Draper and Dan Evans in his first two rounds, but couldn’t find a way past Stefanos Tsitsipas. He will be looking to secure his first Masters 1000 title of the year in Italy.
Filip Krajinovic moved into the second round of the Italian Open after defeating America’s Francis Tiafoe in a very tight two setter. While none of the players got broken in the first set, both broke once each in the second. But, the world No.54 Krajinovic held his nerve I’m both tie breaks and and won the match after two hours and nine minutes. The Serbian was a semifinalist in Montpellier earlier this year, but has been very inconsistent since then, struggling to win consecutive matches. Will he be able to pull of an upset against the Russian? We have to wait and find out.
