I was a bit surprised to see Popyrin as a $2.50 outsider for this clash - the Aussie is back in good form with his run to the Canada Masters quarter-finals last week, while he's defeated Rublev - who has been far from his best for quite a while now - in the last two meetings between the pair, winning both in straight sets. The heat and quick courts in Cincinnati should also favour Popyrin, so there's no reason why he can't make it three consecutive victories over the Russian here.
Head To Head
Popyrin leads 2-1. Rublev won the first encounter 7-6 6-4 back in Vienna 2023, but Popyrin has turned the tables, prevailing 6-4 6-4 at the 2024 Monte Carlo Masters before a destructive 6-2 6-4 triumph in the final of last year's Montreal Masters.
Andrey Rublev Form
Rublev comes into this contest with a 27-18 record on the season, but he's dropped out of the top 10 and not playing close to the kind of level he was a few years ago when he hit his career-high of No. 5 in 2021.
It appeared as if Rublev was back when he surged to the ATP 500 title in Doha back in February, beating the likes of Alex de Minaur, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Jack Draper along the way.
However, that was the last time Rublev registered a completed victory over a player ranked higher than 30 in the world, which illustrates his level over the last few months.
Rublev advanced to the Toronto Masters quarter-finals last week, but was no match for Taylor Fritz, while he got his Cincinnati campaign up and running with a straight sets victory over Learner Tien, who had beaten him earlier in the summer in Washington.
The Russian is a former runner-up in Cincinnati (2021) and has made the quarter-finals on two other occasions (2019, 2024).
Alexei Popyrin Form
It's been a wildly inconsistent season for Popyrin, who heads into this showdown with a negative 16-17 record, but at a career-high ranking of No. 19. However, that ranking is a bit misleading, because Popyrin will fall to No. 36 if he loses this match due to his Canada Masters title points coming off this tournament.
Popyrin lost eight of his opening 10 hardcourt matches of the season, but saved himself with a good clay swing, reaching the Monte Carlo quarter-finals and fourth round at Roland Garros.
The Aussie risked an even bigger rankings drop, but saved face with a solid run back to the quarter-finals in Toronto, beating the likes of Daniil Medvedev and Holger Rune before going down in three sets against top seed Alexander Zverev.
Popyrin will be hoping for a similar result to try and remain in the top 30 in Cincinnati - he got off to a good start, beating rising Spaniard Martin Landaluce 7-6 6-3.
