The winner of Roland Garros 1993 in mixed doubles, Andrei Olkhovsky, named Russian Andrei Rublev as the favorite in the match with Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov in the semifinals of the Masters series tournament in Shanghai.
On Friday, Rublev beat Frenchman Hugo Humbert in the quarterfinals with a score of 6:2, 6:3. During the tournament, Dimitrov knocked out former world number one Carlos Alcaraz.
— Dimitrov has long established himself as a strong tennis player, performs at a high level and shows stable play. It’s just that he “shot” at one time and still remains one of the not fully developed tennis players on the tour. Because his potential was rated very highly.
But even now Grigor still has all the blows, and his physical fitness is enough to provide serious resistance to Rublev. However, in any case, for me the favorite of this match is Andrey,” Vprognoze.ru quotes Olkhovsky as saying.
Rublev and Dimitrov previously played six matches, the tennis players won three victories each.
The meeting in Shanghai will take place on Saturday, the approximate start of the game is 15:00 Moscow time.
