🔍 Match Breakdown

Rublev still owns the heavier first-strike combo (serve + forehand) and the sturdier backhand, but recent lapses under pressure have flipped big points. Fearnley arrives sharp from qualies with clean, direct serving patterns, early backhand takes, and solid tiebreak resilience. If rallies live in the mid-length zone and Fearnley pokes at Rublev’s second serve, this can stretch. Edge in sustained ball-weight remains with Rublev; momentum and freedom sit with Fearnley.

🔮 Prediction

Lean Rublev in three, but the upset door stays open if this drifts to breakers and frustration creeps in. Live-bet angle: if Fearnley nicks the first set yet Rublev is timing the return cleanly, look for Rublev-comeback pricing.

📊 Tale of the Tape (Qualitative)

• Serve/first strike: Edge Rublev — heavier pace; Fearnley’s placement trending up.
• Return/2nd-serve pressure: Slight edge Fearnley right now if Rublev’s 2nd dips.
• Form & confidence: Fearnley in rhythm from qualies; Rublev searching mid-slump.
• Big-point nerve: Rublev higher ceiling, but recent breakers/leads have leaked.
• Crowd/conditions: Quick indoor exchange favors first strike; breakers live.

Pick: Rublev in 3 sets.
