Andrey Rublev vs Luca Van Assche Preview

Andrey Rublev defeated Timofey Skatov in straight sets to reach the quarterfinals of the Estoril Open. Rublev hardly broke sweat as he swept aside the Kazakh 6-1, 6-1 in precisely an hour of play.

In the victory, Rublev hammered 4 aces and 1 double fault. Rublev landed 59% of first serves in play and won 74% of first serve points (17/23). Rublev won 75% of second serve points (12/16) and saved one of two break points.

Rublev is the top seed, so he only needed to win one round to make it to the last eight stage. This is his main draw debut in Estoril. Rublev is now undefeated in his last five matches and is closing in on a Top 10 return.

Luca Van Assche pulled off a surprise result by knocking out former champion Pablo Carreno Busta to reach the Estoril quarterfinals for the first time. The match took 27 games to decide. Van Assche prevailed 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 in two hours and 12 minutes of play.

Rublev won 57% of second serve points (13/23) and saved four of seven break points. Van Assche also won his opening match in three sets against Frederico Silva.

Andrey Rublev vs Luca Van Assche Prediction

I have to take an in-form Rublev to reach the Estoril semifinals. The Russian’s refined power should be enough to blitz past an inspired Van Assche, who has played with grit this week to win back-to-back three-setters. But this is where the Frenchman’s run will likely come to an end as Rublev chases his second title in as many weeks.
