Andrey Rublev vs Diego Schwartzman Prediction: Bad Luck Follows Diego

In the last 32 of the tournament in Vienna, Austria, Andrei Rublev will face Argentine, Diego Schwartzman. Despite the fact that Diego occupies a rather high, 21st line in the ATP ranking, he is an outsider in the upcoming game. 

Last week Andrey took a break and missed one of the tournaments, but a week earlier he was one of the newsmakers, winning a tournament in Gijon. Rublev lost only one set in Spain, to Ivashka in the first round and then beat Paul, Tim and Korda 2-0 each. Moreover, the final against Korda was very short, only an hour and 17 minutes, Andrey won 6-2, 6-3. The win in Gijon brought Rublev closer to Turin, but it's too early to predict Rublev's participation in the final yet. Four guys have already qualified, four more positions are still free, and Andrey is second in line after Medvedev.

Failure upon failure, such is the fall of 2022 for Diego Schwartzman. After losing to Tiafoe in the third round of the U.S. Open, he failed four consecutive matches. At the Davis Cup to Ymer, at the Laver Cup to Tsitsipas, in Tel Aviv to Rinderknech and in Antwerp to Goffin. With a five-match losing streak, it is difficult to hope for a victory over Rublev who won the tournament in Gijon a week ago. It is hardly worth predicting a positive result for Schwartzman in the upcoming game.
