Sam Querrey vs. Andrey Rublev
Jim: After a long time in the wilderness, Querrey finally looks back to the player who is a real strength in men's games between 2016 and 2017. His great service and ability to hit opponents of both wings makes him a formidable threat on grass and he must prove strong for Rublev.
Prediction: Querrey in 3
Yesh: Querrey was very dominant against Dominic Thiem once the American found the rhythm of his game. Rublev presents different types of tests, but Querrey is naturally more comfortable on the grass and plays with confidence.
Prediction: Querrey in 3
Steen: Rublev has a solid opening win and he can catch Querrey at the point of exhaustion after the American needed 5 sets to disappoint Dominic Thiem. But Querrey is pretty good on the grass to win.
Prediction: Querrey in 4
