World No. 7 Andrey Rublev will take on Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Indian Wells Masters on Friday. Rublev has been in phenomenal form over the last few weeks. The Russian won in Marseille and Dubai before coming to Indian Wells. Up against Hubert Hurkacz in the fourth round, the World No. 7 was tested but prevailed 7-6(5), 6-4 to reach the quarterfinals in the desert for the first time. Grigor, the former World No.3, appears to have found his groove. Against the big serving John Isner, Dimitrov put up a great performance to win 6-3, 7-6(6) and reach the quarterfinals.

Andrey Rublev Vs Grigor Dimitrov Match Prediction: Who Will Win This Match?
While Dimitrov has been playing well recently, Rublev has been on a roll for the last month or so. As such, he’ll be the firm favorite to win this contest. Dimitrov has the tools to do well against top players, but has a tendency to underperform. This will prove to be disastrous against the heavy hitting Russian. Being one of the best movers on tour, Dimitrov needs to stay consistent tomorrow to hurt Rublev.
Prediction: Rublev to win in 3 sets.
