Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andrey Rublev are going to face off for the title in Monte Carlo on Sunday. It’s extremely difficult to pick a favorite, even if Andrey Rublev was really impressive when he defeated Rafael Nadal in three sets.
Rublev might be more tired than Tsitsipas
However, it’s worth noticing that Stefanos Tsitsipas seems to have better stats than his upcoming opponent during this edition of the ATP 1000 in Monte Carlo. Stefanos has played much less than Andrey (5h13m vs. 7h44m). However, it’s worth noticing that both Stefano and Andrey didn’t play much during their last match. Still, the Russian can be a bit tired after a very tough and successful week. Rublev played 39% more points than Stefanos (334 vs. 240).
Tsitsipas better in his service games
Tsitsipas was also much better than Rublev in winning the points coming after his second serve (65% vs. 46%).
Finally, Tsitsipas was broken only 3 times during the entire tournament, while Rublev lost his serve 13 times.
