 Andre Rublev vs. Daniel Medvedev is the third match of the ATP Finals group stage for 2022 and both guys have had steady seasons to make it to another ATP Finals. Andre Rublev started the year off as the world number five but after a mid-season slump fell out of the top 10 briefly before regaining his spot at number seven in the rankings. His season record 49 wins 18 losses so again another successful season in the win-loss column. He actually made four finals this year and he won all of them taking home four titles so far in Marseille, Dubai, Belgrade and his recent title a couple of weeks ago in Gijon. His best win against the world number one Novak Djokovic on the clay of Belgrade, very impressive win he actually ended up winning the title and his worst loss was against the number 96 Nishioca in Washington during that mid-season slump that he was having. Daniel Medvedev started the season off as the world number two and as we know he was number one in the world a couple of times this year up until the US Open where Alcares took over and Medvedev dropped down the rankings before settling down at number five in the world heading into these finals. His win-loss record 43 wins 19 losses not as many wins as some of the other guys because he was out injured for most of the clay court season so didn't get a chance to play a lot of the matches while others did and he had a very tough time in finals this year. Two titles from the five finals that he played his only titles being in Los Carbos and Vienna a few weeks ago. His best win was against Devon on City Pass the world number four at the time at the Australian Open but his worst loss was against the 284th ranked Vavrenka who was on the comeback and that was in Metz. Been a very strange season for Medvedev some highs of being world number one but also some lows of missing opportunities. These guys have played five times before with Medvedev leading the head to head 4-1 but Rublev has won their last match which was in Cincinnati last year close three setter in the semi-finals. If Rublev's gonna win this one he's gonna have to be aggressive and push Medvedev around. We know that that is the case with Medvedev it's not easy to push him around but you've got to be the more aggressive player against Medvedev and I kind of hope that Medvedev's not having a good serving day because when Medvedev serves well it can be dangerous. If Medvedev's gonna play well he's gonna have to serve well just like I said before so if he does serve well he should be able to push Rublev around and maybe even frustrate him because we do know Rublev has a short temper once you get inside his head it's very hard for him to recover from that. It's gonna be a very fun match they haven't played for the entire of the season and they played a lot over their time five times with all of them being on hard courts. I'm gonna go with Medvedev I think Medvedev is just starting to come into some form late in the season I know he didn't have a great week in Paris a couple weeks ago but I think Medvedev's starting to look really good now and I feel like he's gonna have too much firepower for Rublev in the end but let me know down in the comments below who do you think is gonna win this first match.
