Jannik Sinner And Andrey Rublev

Andrey Rublev and Jannik Sinner are going to play in the quarterfinals in Barcelona. Andrey Rublev has a better ranking than Jannik Sinner, but the Italian may be the favorite to win this encounter.

Andrey Rublev appeared extremely tired when he played the final in Monte Carlo last week against Stefanos Tsitsipas. He didn’t seem to be at his very best this week, probably still struggling with his energy.

Also, Andrey Rublev had a rather tough third round against Albert Ramos Vinolas. He won in 3 sets after 2 hours and 27 minutes. Since Rublev was already tired after last week, this might be a key factor in the quarter-final against the Jannik Sinner.
