The 1993 Roland Garros mixed doubles winner, Andrei Olkhovsky, said that in the final Masters match in Shanghai between the Russians Andrei Rublev and Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz has no clear favorite.
On Saturday, Rublev reached the final of the tournament in China, defeating Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov with a score of 7:6 (9:7), 6:3.
— I congratulate Andrey on reaching the final. It was a good match, an exhausting first set. It was difficult from a psychological and playful point of view. The quality of the game was very high, Rublev coped with it. In the first set there were some mistakes, there was some nervousness, but overall Andrey played well.
Final with Hurkac? I don’t see a favorite in this pair. The Pole can play at a very high level. Despite the fact that Rublev is higher in the rankings, I consider Hurkacz to be a very dangerous opponent. Therefore, there is no clear favorite here,” Olkhovsky said, as quoted by RB Sport.
The final of the Masters Series tournament in Shanghai will take place on Sunday, October 15, the start of the meeting is scheduled for 11:30 Moscow time.
