Rublev vs Delbonis Prediction:
Rublev will begin the competition as the odds-on favorite to win. However, Delbonis is an expert on clay courts and has the ability to challenge the world’s seventh-ranked player for the title.
Rublev is an out-and-out aggressive player. His strong forehand and moving throughout the court create problems for his opposition regularly. His strong track record in both Hard and Clay courts makes him one of the favorites to win the tournament.
On the other hand, Delbonis has lost his charm and energy to fight against a top-seeded player. He may expect to win 1 or 2 sets in the match and elongate the game as long as possible but it’s highly unlikely that he will win the match.
Rublev vs Delbonis Prediction: Andrey Rublev will win the match
