 Novak Djokovic vs. Andrej Rublev is the final quarterfinal for the men's Australian Open for 2023. And both guys have had interesting rows to get to this stage. Rublev started the tournament off as the number 5 seed and will take on Dominic team the wild card in the first round. But this was no problem for Rublev getting through in straights 6-3, 6-4, 6-2. In the second round he take on Russavori and after dropping the third set Rublev would have to fight for the win getting through in 4, 6-2, 6-4, 6-7, 6-3. In the third round he take on the 25 seed Dan Evans and again very impressive from Rublev getting through in straights sets 6-4, 6-2, 6-3. In the fourth round he take on the exciting youngster Runa the number 9 seed and after splitting the first 4 sets this match went down to the wire with Rublev down 5-2 in the fifth coming back saving match points to prevail in 5 long sets 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 to advance to another quarterfinal. Djokovic started the tournament off as the number 4 seed and will take on Baiana in the first round and this posed no problem even though Djokovic was injured getting through in straight sets 6-3, 6-4, 6-love. In the second round he take on the qualifier Cuoco and after dropping the second set Djokovic felled in trouble but he steamrolled his opponent in the fourth getting through in 4, 6-1, 6-7, 6-2, 6-love. In the third round he take on the 27 seed Demetrov and these two had played many times before and Djokovic had Demetrov's number again getting through in straights 7-6, 6-3, 6-4. In the fourth round he take on the 22nd seed Deminor the hometown favourite and this was by far Djokovic's best performance of the tournament demolishing Deminor in two hours 6-2, 6-1, 6-2 to advance to the quarterfinals. These guys have played three times before with Djokovic leading the head to head 2-1 and also 2-0 on hardcord so if it's on a hardcord it should be Djokovic to win especially because of what happened last year at the ADB finals with Djokovic demolishing Rublev in their previous match. If Rublev is going to win this one he needs to keep his cool. He was very cool against Runa which was very exciting to see because he's usually pretty hotheaded when the moment gets tight and after keep his cool there's a huge opportunity here against an injured Djokovic. If Djokovic is going to win he needs to be more aggressive like he was against Deminor. He was very aggressive against Deminor compared to other matches but he was very clean as well and he's going to have to limit the running because we know Rublev loves the ball bash and that could make Djokovic move a lot which means the hamstring could be compromised so he needs to be aggressive first. This is going to be a very fun matchup and Djokovic's hardest test to date but I'm going to go with Djokovic. I think psychologically Rublev might fail a little bit especially because he's never made it past the quarterfinal of a slam. So I'm going to go with Djokovic in four sets but let me know down in the comments below who do you think is going to win this quarterfinal.
