The 19th racket in the world, Alexander Zverev, has yet to have a very successful season, his performance is 28-17. In Sweden he has two great victories, including a great match against the Brazilian Thiago Monteiro in the second round, whom he convincingly beat with a score of 6:1, 6:0.
Zverev has been gaining momentum in recent tournaments, reaching the semi-finals of Roland Garros and the Halle Open, although a third round elimination of Matteo Berrettini at Wimbledon was disappointing. He will try to continue his good run on Swedish clay against his friend Andrey Rublev.
Rublev is playing in Bastad for the second time after being eliminated in the semi-finals of the tournament last year. The Russian is 36-14 this season and recently reached the quarter-finals of Wimbledon, where he lost to Novak Djokovic. Rublev also reached the Halle Open final.
The Russian opened the tournament on Thursday beating Pavel Kotov 6-3, 7-6, losing 2-5 in the second set. Rublev has performed well on clay this season, winning his first Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo and reaching the final in Banja Luka. He will try to keep his good form in the last weeks against Zverev.
Zverev leads personal encounters with Rublev 5-1. They only played once on clay, in Monte Carlo, where the German comfortably won 6-1, 6-3. Rublev won his last meeting in Dubai this year with a score of 6-3, 7-6, which is his only victory over Zverev.
