Tennis. ATP tournament final. Rublev – Zverev. Direct
Late in the evening of Friday, November 18, the group stage schedule will conclude at the ATP Finals tournament. In the Red Group, Russian Andrey Rublev and German Alexander Zverev will face each other. Unfortunately, this match will no longer have any importance for the tournament: both tennis players have lost their chances of reaching the semi-finals of the tournament. However, Rublev and Zverev have something to fight for. The stake is 200 ranking points and, of course, prestige.
In life, Andrei and Alexander are close friends, who have trained together and participated in various tournaments since their youth, and in recent years they have been fighting for titles on the ATP tour. And even if the upcoming fight isn’t a title fight, it will be important for both. After all, in life they are best friends, but on the field they are rivals.
For a long time, in the confrontation between Rublev and Zverev, only the German tennis player of Russian origin won. Since the Monte Carlo Masters in 2016, Sasha invariably beat Andrey on tour until the Cincinnati Masters in 2021, where the German showed himself stronger than his best friend in the final of the tournament (6:2, 6 :3). The winning streak during this period was five matches.
But everything changed during the current season, during which tennis players met three times, and each time the victory was on Rublev’s side. In March this year, Andrei defeated Sasha in the semifinals of the Dubai tournament (6:3, 7:6). In July, tennis players met in the quarterfinals at a tournament in Båstad, Sweden – the Russian beat the German with a score of 6:2, 6:3. And finally, at a recent tournament in Vienna, Andrei again won in the quarterfinals, but this time in three sets – 6:1, 6:7, 6:3. Thus, Rublev won three matches in a row in this confrontation. However, in today’s match, bookmakers consider Zverev the favorite. You can bet on Sasha’s victory with a coefficient of 1.68 points, while Rublev’s success is estimated at 2.19 points.
