Rublev played three matches before the Masters at the Washington hard court tournament, where the Russian beat Frenchmen Van Assche and Rinderknech, but lost to American Tiafoe in two games. Andrey has four wins in Montreal: over Argentine Etcheverry, American Nakashima, Italian Sinner and Italian Arnaldi. The score of the meeting against Matteo was 6:4, 6:2, the match lasted an hour and 18 minutes. During the game Rublev made 4 aces with one double fault, won 79% of points on first serve and 61% on second serve.

The Montreal Masters is the first hard court tournament for Popyrin in a long time. After Wimbledon, where the Australian made it to the third round, Alexei played three dirt tournaments in Hamburg, Umag and Paris. In Montreal, Popyrin has five wins over Czech Mahach, American Shelton, Bulgarian Dimitrov, Pole Gurkacz and American Korda. The match against Korda lasted an hour and 33 minutes and Popyrin won it 7:6, 6:3. During the game against Korda, Popyrin made two aces and six double faults, won 83% of points on first serve and 34% on second serve.

In this pairing we favour Rublev, who has a history of beating Popyrin on hard courts. In addition, Andrey has had a more loyal schedule in recent days, which should also affect the result of the upcoming game. It should be noted that Rublev has already climbed to sixth place in the ATP rankings, ahead of Gurkacz and Ruud. We believe that Rublev will achieve a very confident victory in the final of the Masters in Montreal.
