Andrey Rublev is a different player than he is a person many times. On the court, he can easily lose control and suffer emotional meltdowns that cause him harm. Somehow he comes across as needing a huge hug even though the volatility of his anger can be unsettling. Off the court, he seems like a very likable person who you might enjoy a pint with.

The second Masters-1000 event before the US Open takes place in Cincinnati. Unsurprisingly, there is a very strong ATP entry list for the tournament.

However, three ATP players have decided to withdraw from the Cincinnati Open. This article names those who have withdrawn and then lists their four replacements in the draw.

On Wednesday, Matteo Berrettini will take on Holger Rune at the Cincinnati Open. This will be an interesting clash of styles. The 2021 Wimbledon finalist has a very straightforward approach. He is looking to easily put away his service games, while hoping his opponents give him a chance to break by tighening up. Even when looking at his baseline play, Berrettini slices his backhand until he is given an opportunity to drop the hammer from the forehand side. There’s very little improvisation. However, Rune is a player with a world of variety, and it feels like he doesn’t quite know the best way to win matches. That small difference in approach should give Berrettini an edge in this Masters 1000 tilt.
