Our pick for Wednesday’s US Open match between Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev.
Andrey Rublev will have to conquer two opponents in Wednesday’sThe 25-year-old Russian is playing his best buddy Daniil Medvedev on the court, but he’ll also need to defeat some serious demons, as well.
Adding to that drama is that fact that, to vanquish his quarterfinal curse, Rublev will need to beat his best friend Medvedev, who just recently honored Rublev by naming him as the godfather to his daughter.Medvedev is the higher seed, is 5-2 against Rublev in their respective careers and has quite a bit of success at Grand Slams.
And two, the Russian was in middling form before the US Open, including an ugly loss to de Minaur in the quarterfinals of the Canadian Masters last month. The 25-year-old won a 250-level title on clay immediately after Wimbledon, but his form dipped right after that and he would end up losing three matches in a row, including going 0-2 on hard courts, immediately leading up to the US Open.
