The round of 32 match of Hamburg European Open 2023 between Bernabe Zapata Miralles and Andrey Rublev will take place on July 26.
Bernabe Zapata Miralles faced disappointing losses recently, surrendering a lead against Hugo Gaston in the Iasi Challenger final and falling to Sebastian Ofner at ATP Bastad. Nonetheless, he finds satisfaction in his overall progress, considering his previous winless streak during the grass swing. Notably, all 20 of his 2023 victories have come on clay, showcasing his proficiency on this surface and leading to a top-50 debut and a career-high ATP ranking of #37. Among his achievements this year, he reached consecutive semifinals in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, as well as the round of 16 at the Madrid Masters. Zapata Miralles’ clay court prowess has been instrumental in his ascent in the rankings.
Andrey Rublev bounced back from a series of quarterfinal losses in Grand Slam events by securing his 14th ATP title in Bastad last week. Throughout the tournament, he faced tough opponents and displayed exceptional performance, defeating Alexander Zverev, Francisco Cerundolo, and top-seeded Casper Ruud. Despite the Grand Slam disappointments, Rublev has demonstrated consistent play across all levels, achieving a major milestone at the Monte Carlo Masters and showing improvement in his mental game. He has a successful history in Hamburg, reaching consecutive championship matches in 2019 and 2020, where he lost to Nikoloz Basilashvili and triumphed against Stefanos Tsitsipas, respectively. Now, he aims to capitalize on his recent Bastad victory and further solidify his position in the tennis world.
