[Tennis- ATP Australian Open] 21.1/ 9:00 A.Rublev- A.De Minaur

The quarterfinal match in Melbourne, a phase that Andrey Rublev never got through, but today let's focus on the fourth round, because the match promises to be great and it's good that the organizers set it for the very end of the day, which will be possible to watch in Poland. I hope it won't be 3-0 for either side, because I'll be a little disappointed. Both of them started the season brilliantly, because Minaur, after a slight false start with Norrie, later performed very well or excellently, and Rublev won the tournament in Hong Kong. They both know each other very well, because they played five times and the Australian was three times better. Today, however, the bookmakers' favorite is the Russian, but I don't want to believe that he will win as easily as, for example, against the immobile Korda. Alex is the opposite because he moves around the court the best in the entire tour and is by far the fastest. Deep defense is his thing, but he needs some reserves in attack and service, although he does it quite well considering his conditions. The host's opposite is Rublev, who plays one-dimensional tennis and is predictable, which is why he has never surpassed a certain level and is unlikely to do so. Minaur, however, may suit him from a certain angle, because he plays a slightly slower ball, so he will have time to position himself for the forehand and impose pressure. Certainly de Minaur will be in defense most of the time and the question is how often Andrey will make mistakes if the ball returns quite often. The fans will add their two cents and will want to increase the pressure of the favorite, who will be under quite a lot of pressure. He will probably watch Rublev throw a racket more than once and the match would have to go very well for him to remain completely calm. The scenario in which Rublev wins to zero will be a big disappointment for me. I don't even want to believe it after what I saw from Kangaroo this year, because even in the lost match against the British at the beginning of the season he looked good. To sum up, we are dealing with two completely different styles, and history says that we should expect a fairly even match, and only once did they play a match in which the loser had zero sets in his account. However, I think that mental issues will be key in such a matchup and if Rublev can cope in this respect, he can win this match, and if not, there will be a big chance for the locals' pet. It seems that a set over is a reasonable direction in this match.
