Rublev Struggles Past Bublik
Up 2-0 on #23 seed Alexander Bublik following 7-4, 6-3 set wins, #7 seed Rublev looked to be home and cooled out in his fourth-round match. Then his game suddenly cooled off.
Bublik rallied to force a fifth set following consecutive tie break wins – 7-6(8-6) and 7-6(7-5). The fourth set was especially harsh to Rublev, who failed to convert a pair of match points.
The more I replay this point, the more I love it:
– 9 gradually gruelling shots until climax
– Bublik goes for the Hail Mary
– Extended grunt implies it’s a winner
– Rublev dives like a keeper, pulls a Houdini
– Bublik and crowd in total disbeliefCINEMA pic.twitter.com/UAIOjXZ4NQ

Aces were Bublik’s key to battling back. Unleashing a 135 mph serve, he collected 39 of them, compared to 20 for his Russian opponent.
Rublev saved himself by saving all five break points that Bublik attempted to earn. As well, the 14 double faults he committed was the other side of Bublik’s powerful service game. The match took three hours and 17 minutes to complete.
Djokovic Finally Drops a Set
It took two days for Djokovic to dispatch #17 seed Hubert Hurkacz, but it wasn’t as difficult as it sounds. Winning the first two sets on Sunday, the match was ultimately halted by curfew.
Hurkacz won the third set when play resumed on Monday, the first set the Serb has dropped the entire tournament. But Djokovic regrouped to take the match 7-6(8-6), 7-6(8-6), 5-7, 6-4.
Novak Djokovic on Andrey Rublev:
“He has huge ground strokes, stays close to the line. Obviously one of the best forehands in the game. Loves to dictate. I’m not gonna talk too much about tactics. Sorry. Probably trying to keep it for myself” 😂

Djokovic also became the first player to break Hurkacz’s serve during the tourney, but it didn’t happen until 3-3 during fourth set. The world #2 is now 5-0 in tiebreakers during Wimbledon, saving three match points during the first tiebreaker against Hurkacz.

His dominance at Grand Slam events is equally impressive. Along with his four straight Wimbledon wins, Djokovic has taken four of the past five Australian Open titles and two of the past three French Open crowns.
Rublev vs Djokovic Prediction
Up against such a dominant presence as Djokovic, Rublev will require laser-sharpness from his game. He can’t surrender any break points, which he’s done effectively so far in this tournament. However, the mental lapse he committed in allowing Bublik back into their match will prove fatal against the machine that is Djokovic.
If Rublev can win a set, he’s done well.
