Andrey Rublev vs Max Purcell – Match Predictions
Contents
Purcell won a set in both of the previous matches against Rublev. Can he put up a fight this time as well?
Andrey Rublev 3-0
Rublev is having a decent season but feeling is that he is still not on the level to be able to attack a Grand Slam title. At Wimbledon, he will start against a player he knows well from the beginning of his pro career. Purcell has not seen the success Rublev has and the difference of the quality will allow Rublev to start with a straight set victory.
First set over 10.5 games
Both players will be under pressure from the start and it will take a while before we see a break. Purcell is not on Rublev’s level but the Australian can serve well and take the opening set over the 10.5 games margin.

This will be his third time on Wimbledon and he has never made it past the first round of the main draw. This year he is coming off an opening round loss to Feliciano Lopez in Mallorca which ended up being the last career win of the Spaniard.
The 25-year-old, won three challengers this season, in Chennai, Bangalore and Pune and made it another three finals.
