the russian Andrew Rublev bounced back with an irregular season, temporarily losing his top 10 status. He has knocked on the door of a select group of top ten to enter the quarterfinals of US Open 2022.
The Spanish Student Ferdinand Vincent24 years old and No. 11 in the ranking, defeated the British southpaw Cameron Norrie27 years old and number 9, for 6-4, 6-4 and 6-4 in 2h.26′.
This will be his sixth appearance in the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam, next Wednesday against the Spaniard Rafael Nadal or the American Frances Tiafoe.
The Muscovite has never reached the semifinals of a ‘big one’. Among his five losses in the penultimate round was Rafa Nadal, his executioner in the quarterfinals US Open 2017 by 6-1, 6-2 and 6-2. His balance in Spain is 1-2, although he won the most recent antecedent, on the land of Monte Carlo, in 2021 (6-2, 4-6 and 6-2).
The temperamental Rublev did not lose even with a 25-minute break to close the roof of Louis Armstrong Stadium, and the track is dry because the organization is slow to make decisions despite bad weather reports. Nor did he lose his stability when he gave up the ‘break’ in favor (3-2) in the third round. He got it back in the ninth game against a Cam Norrie who had an uninspired day.
The Wimbledon semifinalist, the Los Cabos finalist and the Cincinnati semifinalist had no legs to stop the machine Rublev when he delivered with confidence and power. He is more like the champion on this course Dubai, Marseille and Belgrade than the tennis player who sometimes punishes himself too much for his mistakes and gets confused.
He will have his sixth chance to break the quarterfinals, third in New York. In the last Roland Garros he fell against the Croatian Marin Cilic.
