Andrey Rublev Vs Taylor Fritz Match Prediction: Who Will Win This Match?

Rublev will enter the match as the heavy favourite to win, given his recent form.  The Russian has won 18 out of 20 matches so far and is currently on a 13-match winning streak. However, Fritz has proven to be a dangerous player and has beaten top players like Felix Aliassime and Cameron Norrie. While Taylor is the better server of the two, Rublev definitely has the more powerful groundstrokes. Coupled with a tougher mentality this year and great footwork, Rublev will be a tough opponent to beat.

Prediction: Rublev to win in 3 sets.
