Jannik Sinner vs Andrey Rublev preview

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner will take on Andrey Rublev in the fourth round of the French Open 2025.

Sinner beat Arthur Rinderknech 6-4, 6-3, 7-5 to begin his run in Paris. He sent Richard Gasquet into retirement with a 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 win over the Frenchman. He then played his best match of the tournament against Jiri Lehecka in the third round.

Sinner dominated his opponent from start to finish with his relentless and precise shotmaking. He dropped only three games to register a 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 victory to book his spot in the fourth round.

Rublev was pushed to four sets by qualifier Lloyd Harris in the first round but finished the match on a high with a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 win. He beat Adam Walton 7-6 (1), 6-1, 7-6 (5) to set up a third-round showdown against home favorite Arthur Fils.

Unfortunately, Fils withdrew from the tournament and Rublev advanced to the fourth round courtesy of a walkover. The Frenchman sustained an injury during his five-set win over Jaume Munar in the second round. He could be out of action for another five to six weeks, with his Wimbledon participation being up in the air for now.

Jannik Sinner vs Andrey Rublev prediction

Sinner put on an absolute clinic against Lehecka in the previous round. To lose only nine points on serve over the course of three sets is simply astounding. Rublev caught a lucky break as he avoided a tricky opponent in the form of Fils, whose campaign came to an unfortunate end due to an injury.

This will be the 10th career meeting between Sinner and Rublev. Since the Italian kicked off his incredible run with his Australian Open title last year, the Russian is one of four players to beat him.

Rublev beat Sinner in the quarterfinals of the Canadian Open in three sets. However, the latter avenged that loss a week later in the quarterfinals of the Cincinnati Open. He hasn’t lost prior to the final of a tournament since then.

Sinner also leads their rivalry 2-1 on clay. Rublev’s only win coincidentally came at the French Open in 2022, albeit due to his rival’s mid-match retirement. Considering the Italian’s dominant display in the previous round, it would be quite foolish to bet against him, despite the Russian being a talented player himself.

Pick: Jannik Sinner to win in straight sets.

With a Master’s degree in law, Rohit brings his analytical and research skills to the forefront as a journalist. He stays on top of the game by using social media platforms and never misses a match for on-court insights. He values giving credit where it’s due, keeping his reporting fair and accurate.

At the outset of his career, Rohit found his niche in writing previews and SEO pieces and it’s this expertise that continues to define his role at Sportskeeda. He is particularly proud of one article that garnered an impressive 750k views and surpassed his “wildest dreams.” Rohit is not particularly fond of (GOAT) debates and it is one of the reasons why he left the legal world behind. He prefers to view players in “tiers,” where they’re all esteemed to an extent. However, if pressed to name favorites, he would choose Serena and Venus Williams. The Williams sisters’ journey from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of tennis has been his greatest source of inspiration.

When he isn’t busy making spot-on predictions about match outcomes, Rohit likes reading, particularly fantasy, sci-fi, and comics. As an X-Men fanatic, he’s also passionate about board games and enjoys watching movies in his spare time. And don’t be surprised if you catch him silently wishing to the tennis gods for the removal of ad scoring from doubles.
