Marton Fucsovics vs Andrey Rublev: match preview
Second seed Andrey Rublev will face off against Marton Fucsovics in the quarterfinals of the Rotterdam Open 2022 on Saturday. Rublev continues his title run by beating Kwon Soon Woo 6-3, 6-3 in the second round. The defending champion, who was heavily favoured to win seems to be in form after losing in the 3rd round at the Australian Open.
Fucsovics defeated the home favourite 6-4, 7-6(4) to advance to his first quarterfinal this year. There seems to be an improvement after going the distance in his first round match against Filip Krajinovic. After disappointing performances in Adelaide and Melbourne, this is the first time the World No.38 has won 2 consecutive matches this season.

Marton Fucsovics vs Andrey Rublev match prediction: Who will win this match?
The pair will enter to play a rematch of the Rotterdam final from last year which Rublev won. Rublev enters the match once again as the favourite and seems to have found his form. With Fucsovics abysmal record against top 10 players, winning only 2 matches out of 22 matches, the odds seemed to be tipped in Rublev’s favour. Rublev also beat him at this same tournament last year and has won all their encounters on hard courts, further strengthening his odds.
Prediction: Rublev to win in straight sets.
