Jannik Sinner vs Andrey Rublev 2024 Cincinnati Open

Jannik Sinner and Andrey Rublev are set to clash again at the 2024 Cincinnati Open.

These top players often meet because they consistently perform well. When they play well, they face other strong players, like at the ATP Masters 1000 in Cincinnati.

Last week, Rublev beat Sinner in Montreal. Sinner had just returned after missing the Paris Olympics due to tonsillitis .

Rublev also dealt with tonsillitis earlier this year but didn’t miss any events, although his performance dipped for a bit. Last week, despite playing well overall, Sinner struggled against Rublev and seemed to have a leg injury that now appears fine.

Head-to-head:

Their recent match was their eighth encounter, with Sinner leading the head-to-head 5-3. Rublev won the last match in Montreal in an unusual way. He took the first set 6-3 by dominating his first serve and converting a break point while Sinner couldn’t do so.

Sinner fought back brilliantly in the second set, winning 6-2 with excellent serving and baseline play. However, he struggled with a leg problem in the final set.

Before this match, Sinner had won three straight matches against Rublev due to his consistent hitting. Although Rublev can hit as well as Sinner, his consistency varies—some weeks he’s unbeatable; other times he struggles.

This week, Rublev has been playing great while Sinner hasn’t looked amazing yet. Cincinnati hasn’t been kind to him historically; meanwhile, Rublev reached the final there in 2021.

Fans might think this is going to be an exciting matchup!

Prediction:

Exciting rematch ahead! From last week’s game: when Rublev served well (first and third sets), it troubled Sinner. The courts at Cincinnati are even quicker than Montreal’s—this year’s edition is reportedly the fastest ever—which could be tough for Sinner if he can’t pressure on serve.
But if he serves well himself? The speed might actually help him! In essence: it all boils down to who serves better on game day.
Prediction:S inner winsin three sets.< br />
