Andrey Rublev Player Overview
Rublev has gained solid momentum in the latter half of the season, delivering increasingly impressive performances from tournament to tournament. On hard courts this year, Andrey has recorded 13 wins and 8 losses. It could have been better, considering his high ranking as the world No. 11, but a disappointing mid-season stint (Dubai, Indian Wells, Miami) dented his stats.
In Cincinnati, Rublev defeated Tien, Popyrin, and Comesana. In his most recent match against the Argentine, Andrey needed just 1 hour and 5 minutes to secure victory, wrapping up the encounter in straight sets (6-2, 6-3). The Russian was dominant with his first serve, landing 68% of them and firing off 8 aces.

Carlos Alcaraz Player Overview
Alcaraz hardly needs an introduction, but let's recap his hard court stats for this season-13 wins and 4 losses. Before the Cincinnati tournament, Carlos took a month off from official matches, having expended significant energy at Wimbledon.

Editor's Prediction
Both players have been impressive in this tournament, showcasing a similar style of tennis with long rallies and smart combinations. In Cincinnati, Rublev's serve has been on point and should be his main weapon against the Spaniard. Andrey is in excellent physical shape and certainly won't be an easy opponent in this match-up. The game is likely to be evenly matched in terms of games won, so we're backing the Russian with a handicap advantage. Our bet is Rublev with a +4.5 handicap.
