 Francis Tiarfo vs. Andre Rubelev is the fourth quarterfinal for the men's US Open for 2022, and both players have had to fight to get to this stage. Tiarfo enter the tournament as the 22nd seed and will take on Countryman Giron in the first round. After a tight first set, he'd eventually prevail in straight 7-6-6-4-6-3. In the second round, he'd take on Koopla, and after a couple of tight sets, Tiarfo eventually prevailed in straights 7-6-7-5-7-6. In the third round, he'd take on the 14th seed Diego Schwarzman, who had played well at the US Open prior. And after a very close first set, Tiarfo got through in straights 7-6-6-4-6-4. In the fourth round, he'd take on the second seed Rafa Nadal, who had been a little patchy up to this stage. And after splitting the first two sets, it was Tiarfo who got the win in the fourth, taking out Rafa in his biggest win of his career. 6-4-4-6-6-4-6-3 to advance to his first US Open quarterfinal. Rublev started the tournament off as the number 9 seed and would take Jarrah to Serbian in the first round. And after winning the first two sets, Rublev had to fight in 5, getting through in 5-7-6-6-3-3-6-4-6-6-4. In the second round, he'd take on the unseeded Kwon, and this was a much easier matchup with Rublev winning in straights sets 6-3-6-love-6-4. In the third round, he'd take on Shapoval of the 19th seed, who had found some form to start this tournament. And after going down two sets of 1, Rublev would add a 5 to the death, eventually winning in 5-6-4-2-6-6-7-6-4-7-6 in the fifth. In the fourth round, he'd take on the number 7 seed Nori. It would have been very impressive in the first few rounds, but this was no problem for Rublev as he won in straights sets 6-4-6-4-6-4 to advance to the quarterfinals. These two have played twice before with the head-to-head split right down the middle 1-1 and having played an epic match in 5 sets at last year's US Open. So it looks like we might be getting a replay of that in this quarterfinal. If Tiafo is going to win, he needs to be aggressive like he was against Rafa. He didn't hold back, and every time he went for a big shot, he kept making it. So let's see if he can do that again against Rublev because we know Rublev likes to hit big. If Rublev's going to win, he needs to keep his cool. He knows the crowd's going to be against him throughout this whole match. They're massive big foe fans, and of course, being American, they're going to go for the American. But this is going to be interesting to see how Rublev can keep his cool in a match that he is expected to win. This is a very tough match for me to pick because big foe has been on fire, but did he play his final against Rafa? That is the question. Can he back it up against Rublev in a quarterfinal? I'm going to go with Rublev. I think he's the safer bet, and he has got a nice road ahead of him. Avoiding Rafa, he could make it really far in this tournament, maybe even his first Grand Slam Final. I've got Rublev in 5. Let me know down in the comments below who do you think is going to win this quarterfinal.
