In the Davis Cup quarterfinals, Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev will play against Swede Elias Imer.
Andrey Rublev
The 24-year-old representative of Russia at the Davis Cup in the group stage played in singles and doubles. In the singles matches on November 27 and 28 , Andrey Rublev beat the representative of Ecuador , Roberto Quiros – 6:3; 4:6; 6:1. And then Andrey lost to the Spaniard Feliciano Lopez – 6:2; 3:6; 4:6. Rublev played doubles with Aslan Karatsev. On November 27, our pair beat Gonzalo Escobar and Diego Hidalgo from Ecuador – 6:4; 4:6; 6:4. And the next day Rublev and Karatsev won a strong-willed victory over Marcel Granoles and Feliciano Lopez from Spain in three sets – 4:6; 6:2; 6:4.
Elias Imer
The 25-year-old representative of Sweden, in turn, plays exclusively singles matches at the Davis Cup. On November 25, Imer beat Canadian Stephen Sharp in two sets – 6:4; 6:2. And on November 27, the representative of Kazakhstan Mikhail Kukushkin was beaten – 6:3; 7:6 (7:4).
Forecast
Andrey Rublev has to play a lot of matches at the Davis Cup, yes, he could have recovered in a couple of days, but still our tennis player does not have much stability at this tournament. Rublev will surely win this match, but it is hard to believe that Elias Imer will not be able to impose a fight, and therefore we propose to put more than 7.5 games won by the Swede on the total.
