🔍 Match Breakdown

Rublev’s explosive baseline game remains a threat, but his recent form is patchy and confidence is fragile. He’s shown signs of physical frustration and mental lapses, especially under Slam pressure. Grass doesn’t help—it exposes his footwork and reduces his margin for error.

Djere’s steadiness and rally tolerance could be the perfect foil to exploit Rublev’s volatility. He doesn’t have huge weapons but is capable of absorbing pace and turning momentum through long games and tie-breaks. If Rublev’s serve falters or his temper flares, Djere could capitalize.

Still, Rublev leads the head-to-head convincingly, and if he finds rhythm early, he should overpower Djere with depth and pace. The longer it goes, the more dangerous it becomes for the Russian.

🔮 Prediction

Prediction: Rublev in 4 sets — flashes of dominance, but shaky patches likely.
Betting Angle: Over 37.5 games or live-bet Djere if he wins Set 1. Possible value in Djere +1.5 sets handicap.
