Tip and bets
Rublev is not in the best shape right now. Russian player had too many matches recently and you can see that he is very tired, so he won't be able to crush Isner. The best option is to put bet on Isner with a plus handicap.
Our prediction - Isner to win with a handicap of (+3.5) games
Rublev is understandably exhausted, because it is the third tournament in a row for him. In his last two tournaments he reached the final and the quarter-final respectively, so he is not fresh enough for Madrid tournament.
Rublev is obviously a favourite, but he won't be able to get a confident and quick victory. We expect a contested matchup.
Second prediction - total over 23 games
