The final may be a preview of a RG QF 10 days from now. Rubylev should be favored over childhood friend Mediocrevedev in his section. Tsits’ path is trickier, having to go through Krajinović and Shapovalov.

What does your crystal ball say for these clashes?

Rubles are trending downward on the market but upward on the court. The Greeks have trashed the euro and are flash in the pan on court. Andrey in two quick sets to save energy for the RG campaign and a 4-set QF win.

That would likely cause him to leapfrog Berrettini into 8th place, 7th in the race for the ATP Finals, with Paris on the horizon.

(Edit: That's with a SF, not a QF, at RG. A QF would put him just behind Berrettini, just ahead of Monfils, in a tight 3 way race for the Finals.)

Interesting, only 14 players have won a title of any kind at the ATP level this year. All 4 of the semifinalists were titlists this season. Strong group.

Congrats to Rublev on winning his 5th ATP title and 1st at 500 level.
