Andrey Rublev vs Jack Draper Prediction
Rublev has a lot of things going his way this week. He's won two deciding set tie-breaks in his last two matches, which is so unlike him to have a cool head under pressure. The Russian's mental clarity was nonexistent for most of last season, but he appears to have that figured out in Doha. Secondly, Rublev has now made it to his third final in Doha, and 10th in the ATP 500 category. He's won five titles at this level. Moreover, Rublev has beaten Draper three times in the head-to-head.
But despite all the numbers being largely in Rublev's favor, Draper has improved considerably in the two years since their last meeting. That top 10 debut looks like a matter of time. He hasn't lost a completed match this year, even though this is only his second tournament. Rublev might need to rely upon some moments of brilliance to win this. It's going to be extremely tough to break Draper's cannon of a serve and should the Briton find his A-game as he has this week, he's the favorite to walk away with the trophy. Give me Draper in three.
