Rublev vs Cilic: prediction for the Roland Garros match

Andrey Rublev and Marin Cilic face off in the quarterfinal of the 2022 French Open. Who will progress to the next round of the Major? Here's our prediction.

Command Analysis

Andrey Rublev

Andrey Rublev has successfully reached the quarterfinals of the French Open for the second time in his career. But it wasn't a pleasure cruise - all of the Russian's matches at the current tournament were quite difficult. After he ousted Kwon Soon-woo (6-7, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4) in the opening round, Rublev prevailed over Federico Delbonis (6-3, 3-6, 6-2, 6-3) and Christian Garin (6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6). The last match, however, was over in one hour - Jannik Sinner withdrew from the tournament due to a leg injury.

Marin Cilic

Marin Cilic, on the other hand, demonstrated very confident performance at the current Major. He surrended only one set, in the second-round match against Marton Fucsovics (4-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-3). The Croatian tennis player closed all of his other opponents in straight sets - Attila Balazs (6-0, 6-1, 6-2), Gilles Simon (6-0, 6-3, 6-2), and even the World №2 Daniil Medvedev (6-2, 6-3, 6-2).
