Preliminary review and pre-match prediction for Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Andrey Rublev
Stefanos Tsitsipas:
Tsitsipas will play in the Abu Dhabi final for the second time. In 2020, he lost in the decider to Novak Djokovic.
On Saturday, Stef scored a confident victory over Casper Ruud (6-2, 6-2).
Tsitsipas calmly defeated his opponent, for whom it was the first match after the break. A little over a fortnight ago, the Norwegian played twice against Rafa Nadal in Latin America, but there was a completely different level of resistance.
Tsitsipas was clearly playing for results. Stef did not let Ruud have anything at all on reception, but he converted four break points himself.
There is a suspicion that Stef will approach the start of the new season in very good form.
Tsitsipas has three wins in his last five matches against lower-ranked opponents.
Andrey Rublev:
Rublev, meanwhile, reached the final in Abu Dhabi for the second year in a row. At the end of 2021, he won the exhibition tournament in the UAE capital.
If last week Andrey had a frankly weak match against Stan Wawrinka, this week he is playing much better.
Andrey defeated Borna Coric on Friday. As expected, it was a difficult match, but Rublev took two sets and never relinquished a serve.
On Saturday, Rublev defeated Carlos Alcaraz. It was a smash in 59 minutes (6-2, 6-1). The game showed that the Spaniard, who recently recovered from an abdominal muscle injury, is still far from his optimum form.
Rublev had lost three of his previous five top-10 clashes.
