John Millman (Aus) vs. Andrey Rublev (Rus) – Score prediction (9.10.2019)

Overview.

John Millman cleared a tricky test against Guido Pella to make his mark in the main draw of Shanghai Masters, 6-3 7-5. His previous two campaigns here in 2016 and 2018 ended in the qualifying stages. The experienced Aussie made the most of a weak draw to reach the final of an ATP 500 series event in Tokyo last week, where he entered as a qualifier and won six consecutive matches. It was, in fact, the 30-year-old Millman’s first-ever championship match on the main tour.
It was a much-needed confidence-boosting result for the Aussie, considering he struggled to win matches on tour in recent months and even went through to a five-match losing streak in June, which had seen him move closer to the top 100 exit (was sitting at #80 last week).

Andrey Rublev registered his sixth top 20 win of the season by defeating world #15 Borna Coric in straight sets in the first round of Shanghai Masters. It was a comfortable matchup for the Russian considering the Croatian lacks form and fitness at the moment.The talented Russian’s excellent run of form on the main tour was halted by Fabio Fognini in the second round of ATP Beijing last week. Nevertheless, Rublev would be satisfied with his results so far in the second half of 2019 — a runner-up finish in Hamburg and three quarterfinal appearances in Cincinnati, Winston Salem, and St.Petersburg.

John Millman won the pair’s only previous meeting in Vicenza challenger four years ago, and his best tennis is capable of offering a stern challenge in this meeting as well, but expect the in-form Andrey Rublev to negotiate the win here.
