Andrey Rublev vs Dominic Thiem Prediction: Andrey to achieve 4th win over Thiem

Andrey Rublev will face DominiC Thiem, once a top-5 ATP player, in the Gijon Open semifinals. The Austrian is only 165th in the world at the moment, but you can't underestimate Dominic for a reason. He did get to the semifinals, after all. 

Rublev started the Spanish Open with a hard-fought win over Belarus' Ilya Ivashka. But the quarter-final followed with a convincing win over world No. 9 Tommy Paul, No. 30 in two sets, 7-5, 6-3. Rublev served four aces on zero double faults, won 84% of his first-serve points and 52% of his second-serve points. Rublev had 43%/42% on the receiving end. Noteworthy, both Rublev's first serve and excellent receiving numbers. He did not yet secure a place in the ATP Finals, but he is close to it. A win in Gijon will be a big help.

Dominic missed last week but decided to try his hand at the Gijon tournament this week. Thiem has already played three matches in Spain and of course won three times with one set lost. The Austrian knocked out Sousa, Giron and Cerundolo, losing a set to the American Giron. His quarterfinal match against Argentina's Cerundolo lasted an hour and a half, with Dominic winning 6-4, 6-3. Thiem served two aces on zero double faults, winning 70% of his points on first serve and 43% on second serve. On the receiving end it was 44%/57%.

Rublev made a breakthrough in Gijon as after a difficult match against Ivashka. Andrey handled the American Paul in two sets. Thiem, even as a top-ranked tennis player, lost his last three head-to-head matches to Rublev, including two on the indoor hard court. And now Dominic is far from the top, so we don't expect the game to be a long one, we bet on another confident win for Rublev in Gijon. Here are the betting options for the game:
