Andrey Rublev and Fabian Marozsan will be facing each other for the fifth time in their careers when they battle for a place in the Qatar ExxonMobil Open quarterfinals on Wednesday.
The head-to-head series could not be more competitive. It is tied 2-2 and three of their four meetings have required final sets; the only exception is a 7-6(2), 7-6(7) victory for Rublev on the indoor hard courts of Rotterdam in 2025.
Another good one should be in the cards, but it’s tough to pick against Rublev in Doha. He is 17-5 lifetime at this tournament with two titles — including last year.
Pick: Rublev in 3
