Andrey Rublev has been in good touch in the Astana Open. He put together three impressive wins in straight sets to reach the semi-finals. It is his 8th semi-final appearance this year. He is fresh off a 6-1, 6-2 victory against Adrian Mannarino, which will give him a lot of confidence.

Rublev is on a 43-15 record this year. On the other hand, Tsitsipas has an impressive 52-18 record this year. The Greek is coming off a hard-fought battle against Hubert Hurkacz by 7-6(8), 6-3 to reach the last 4.

It will be an eye-catching battle between the two 24-year-olds. Both of them have tested success this year and are hungry for more.
