It was a successful year for Stefanos Tsitsipas as he maintained his position in the top five of the world. Moreover, the Greek won two titles this year in Monte Carlo where he beat Andrey Rublev in the final. Also, he won in Lyon after overcoming Cameron Norrie in the final.
In addition, three final appearances especially in Roland Garros where he was two sets up and lost in five to Djokovic. Tsitsipas is a very solid player who won the ATP Tour Finals in 2019. However, the 23-year-old is still looking for his first Grand Slam and he is one of the three in the top five still without one.

Andrey Rublev must be in top form
Coming into the ATP Finals Andrey Rublev is not in his best form. In fact, the Russian lost five of his last seven matches and couldn’t pass beyond the second round in the last four tournaments. Hence, Rublev needs to regroup himself and start in the best way possible.
To point out, Rublev’s overall season performance hasn’t been very successful. Markedly, he won just one title in Rotterdam and could have more than a four-win streak all year. Additionally, he lost three of his last four meetings with Tsitsipas with his only win in that run being this year in the Rotterdam semi-finals.

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Andrey Rublev Prediction
In all of the four matches in the first round of the Nitto ATP Finals matches, this is the closest according to the bookies. In effect, there is no clear favorite to win with Tsitsipas having odds of 1.77 and Rublev 2.09 at Vbet for a win.
And looking at their h2h record we can understand that uncertainty as it stands at 4-4. Moreover, in their two meetings this year, each player won once. Certainly, the similarity of their playing styles is also one of the reasons why their matches are always equal.
Last year, these two met in the Finals again and it went to three sets. We think we might see another high number of games since the stakes are high and both are fighters and would play to win. Hence, we will back over 21.5 games.
