Rublev vs Alcaraz — Cincinnati QF Preview
ATP Cincinnati
Hard Court
Quarterfinal
🧠 Form & Context
Carlos Alcaraz
- 🔥 Into his seventh straight tour-level quarterfinal — has reached the final in each of his last six events.
- ⚡ Shaky opener vs Dzumhur (dropped a set) but cruised past Medjedovic and Nardi, conceding just 13 games combined.
- 📉 Hard-court 2025 concern: QF exits at AO (Djokovic) and Doha (Lehecka) are reminders that this stage can be tricky.
- 📜 Cincinnati record: 1–1 in QFs; lost to Norrie (2022) and beat Purcell (2023) before finishing runner-up.
- 🎯 5–1 in 2025 finals; riding momentum but still seeking a big North American hard title this season.
Andrey Rublev
- 💪 Best showing of the week came in the last round — dominant over Comesana.
- ⚠️ Early rounds were grinds: two tiebreaks over Tien and a marathon vs Popyrin.
- 📍 Cincinnati history: Finalist (2021) plus two QF losses to eventual champs (Medvedev 2019, Sinner 2024).
- 🚫 Top-5 record: 0–5 vs top-5 in past 12 months; last win came in Canada 2024.
- 💡 Wimbledon 2025 meeting saw him take the first set before Alcaraz rallied — gave tactical insight into possible openings.
