Ahead is the match against the first seed and main contender for the title - Rublev. How will the upcoming match go for the Swiss? - the analysis of the match and bets on it are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Andrey Rublev
Russian FederationCurrent form
Rublev beat Alexander Muller (6-4, 6-1) quite confidently in the opening match in Stockholm. Andrey served six aces, converted four break points and did not lose a single game on his serve in the match against the Frenchman. For the Russian, this was the third victory in four indoor matches this season.
Professional qualities
Rublev is known for his powerful forehand, which is rightfully considered one of the most dangerous on tour. He can hit both down the line and cross-court, with his reverse cross-court after running under his right hand being especially notable. However, his monotony in the game often becomes his weak point, which prevents him from consistently competing with top tennis players.
Current indicators in the tour
Rublev is a former world No. 7. The Russian is currently ranked fifth in the world. Andrey has won two trophies this season. He won the open hard court in Hong Kong and the clay court Masters in Madrid. The Russian now has 16 ATP trophies to his credit.
Interesting facts for betting
Rublev has lost at least one set in three of his last five matches against players over 30.
Stan Wawrinka
SwitzerlandCurrent form
Wawrinka will play in the quarterfinals for the first time this season. In the second round of the competition in Stockholm, he defeated Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (6-4, 3-6, 7-5). Stan hit ten aces during the match, converted four break points and lost three games on his serve. The Swiss has two wins in two matches on indoor hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Wawrinka played at an incredibly high level in his prime, combining excellent court movement with powerful shots and a solid defensive game. His one-handed backhand is still admired by many and remains one of the best shots in tennis history. Although injuries and age have diminished his former physical abilities, Stan can still cause problems on fast surfaces with his powerful serve and accurate lobs from both sides.
Current indicators in the tour
Wawrinka was once ranked third in the world, but now the Swiss is outside the second hundred - at position 217. Stan has been performing extremely poorly this season - the quarterfinal in Stockholm will be his first quarterfinal of the season.
Interesting facts for betting
Wawrinka has lost only one clean sheet in his last six encounters against top-10 players.
