Coming off a win on Thursday, 3 Sept, he has claimed three of his past four encounters against Rublev, including straight-set victories in late 2023.

Rublev enters this decider with plenty of match play, coming off a win on Monday, 28 Sept against Kyrian Jacquet to lock in four consecutive victories. Rublev holds a 31-17 YTD record and 400 career wins. However, breaking down Medvedev's defensive game has proven tough, with Rublev's last head-to-head victory coming in November 2022.
