Quentin Halys vs Andrey Rublev Prediction

Quentin Halys came through two rounds of qualifying to reach the main draw and the Frenchman has been rewarded with a clash against the in-form Andrey Rublev.

Rublev comes into this week in fine form having won the Qatar Open last week beating Jack Draper in the final. He was involved in a series of three-set battles but came through them all en route to the victory as he beat Alex de Minaur, Felix Auger-Aliassime and then Draper.

Those wins and the manner of them will give Rublev plenty of confidence. It will be interesting to see if he can sustain it now.

Halys will be eager to upset him here but it is unlikely he has the tools to cause him too many issues. Even if Rublev is a little off his game, he should still have far too much for the 28-year-old Frenchman.
