The round of 16 match of US Open 2023 between Jack Draper and Andrey Rublev will take place on September 4.
Jack Draper exhibits the potential to compete at a top-20 level in tennis, contingent upon his fitness. This has been evident not only in his past performances but also in the current US Open campaign. Notably, he swiftly defeated the 17th-ranked Hubert Hurkacz in straight sets during the second round and overcame Michael Mmoh in four sets in the third round. Draper excels in keeping his matches short, recognizing his challenges in lengthy battles. However, he’s faced fitness issues, withdrawing from three matches this year and experiencing a similar setback at the US Open a year ago. Physical challenges have plagued him in North American conditions, and he must prioritize his conditioning between matches. Despite his physical struggles, Draper possesses the potential to defeat top-10 players, as evident in sets won against Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, and Andrey Rublev. He also secured victories against Stefanos Tsitsipas and Felix Auger Aliassime in North America last year.
Andrey Rublev has advanced to the US Open’s second week, benefiting from facing French opponents. He secured straight-set wins against Arthur Cazaux and dropped just one set each against Gael Monfils and Arthur Rinderknech in subsequent rounds. This favorable draw helped him rebound from a three-match losing streak, boosting his confidence. Rublev has a mixed record in recent Grand Slam events, triumphing over expected opponents but struggling in quarterfinals against top contenders, with an 0-8 record. He excels in the round of 16, boasting an 8-3 record with notable wins against players like Jannik Sinner, Cameron Norrie, and Holger Rune. In recent US Opens, he reached the quarterfinals, including a convincing win over Cameron Norrie in 2022.
