Andrey Rublev versus Cristian Garin head to head
There have been two previous encounters between these two players and Rublev has won both times.
They first faced each other at Wimbledon 2019 and Rublev had lost a set before progressing to the second round. They then clashed on clay in another opening round match at the Hamburg Open 2019, and this time Garin failed to steal a serve from his opponent.

Rublev stretched to four by Delbonis
It wasn’t as easy a time as Rublev would have expected in the first two rounds of the competition so far.
He had gone into his opening round encounter at odds of 3/50 to win against Soon-woo Kwon but ended up losing a set to his Korean opponent. And something similar happened in round two, and the overwhelming Rublev had to face another spirited challenge from Federico Delbonis before winning in four.
For the second game in a row, Rublev was the overwhelming favorite to win the encounter, odds of 3/25 on offer. And for the second time the opponent managed to snap off an essay.
In the end, Rublev won his ninth game on clay this season after his three losses as he defeated Delbonis 6-3 3-6 6-2 6-3 to advance to the third round.
Will he make it to the fourth round at the French Open for the second time in three years?
Garin is showing signs of age
He’s had a 7-8 win-loss record on clay this year, but Garin seems to have shrugged off that poor start to the season with some solid performances at the French Open so far.
Garin, who earlier came from a set deficit against Tommy Paul in the first round, fought off a late comeback from Ilya Ivashka in the second round to earn a spot in the Round of 32.
It took him two hours and 51 minutes to get past Ivashka, winning 6-3 7-6(5) 4-6 6-3, with just a single break of serve finally dividing the two players.
The Chilean, with a career-best 17th in the world, also reached the fourth round here last year but will now need another shock to do so this season.
Rublev v Garin prediction and tip
While Rublev starts with a 1/4 favourite, we have to be quick to add that Garin won’t be a pushover and is expected to win at least one set.
