Rublev is not perfect yet. So he is unlikely to win by a wide margin in the upcoming match. All the more so in their head-to-head encounter with Evans, they are tied 4-4. We believe that if the British player is going to lose, he shouldn’t do it with a big handicap.
The tennis players have met each other eight times before and despite the last head-to-head encounters ending in two sets, they have all been fought out. We believe that the upcoming match will also be a long one, so in the next meeting between Rublev and Evans we suggest betting on the total of more games.
Rublev made it through the first rounds relatively smoothly, despite all the fears after two setbacks in Adelaide. In Adelaide, he lost first to Roberto Bautista-Agut and then to Thanasi Kokkinakis. Rublev reached his best result at an Australian Open in 2021 when he reached the quarter-finals.
In the opening match, Andrey defeated Dominic Thiem (6-3, 6-4, 6-2).
In the second round, Rublev defeated Emil Ruusuvuori (6-2, 6-4, 6-7, 6-3).
In his match against the Finn, the Russian scored eight of nine break points and hit 77% of his first-serve points. Rublev showed good tennis, but there was nothing special in his game.
Andrey Rublev has won six of his last seven matches at Grand Slam tournaments.
Evans started the tournament with a victory over Facundo Bagnis (6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4).
Next was a victory over Jérémy Chardy (6-4, 6-4, 6-1). Nothing surprising in principle, as Jeremy returned to the tour not too long ago after a very long break.
Dan won one of his three matches at the beginning of January. He defeated Albert Ramos-Vinolas () and lost to Jason Kubler and Francis Tiafoe.
At the tournament in Adelaide, Evans lost straight away to Mackenzie McDonald (5-7, 5-7).
Evans’ best result at the Australian Open remains his fourth-round exit of the 2017 season.
