Andrey Rublev vs Novak Djokovic: Wimbledon 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Andrey Rublev’s mental progress over the past eight months was on the line as he faced Alexander Bublik in the round of 16. Despite a comfortable position, Rublev struggled, wasting multiple match points and squandering leads before eventually winning 7-5, 6-3, 6-7, 6-7, 6-4. The ban on Russian players at last year’s Wimbledon seemed to fuel their motivation this year, as Rublev, along with Daniil Medvedev and Roman Safiullin, reached the quarterfinals for the first time at the grass-court Grand Slam. However, Rublev’s mental barrier against top players like Novak Djokovic remains a challenge. He faces two formidable opponents on Tuesday, still seeking his first victory in a slam quarterfinal and having only defeated Djokovic once in four attempts during a period of the Serbian’s low form in 2022.

Novak Djokovic faced his first set loss at Wimbledon this year against Hubert Hurkacz, who delivered an exceptional performance with powerful serves and numerous winners. Despite the challenge, Djokovic emerged victorious with a score of 7-6, 7-6, 5-7, 6-4. Hurkacz’s big-serving style poses a plausible threat to Djokovic, making the Serbian relieved after Andrey Rublev’s narrow win over Alexander Bublik in the round of 16. With Bublik eliminated, Djokovic appears to be on track for the semifinals. Djokovic aims to surpass Roger Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon titles after recently surpassing Rafael Nadal’s Grand Slam victories record. He holds an impressive win/loss percentage (90%) at Wimbledon and maintains a 25-match winning streak at the Grand Slam level, a feat unmatched in the Open era.
