Tennis fans, grab your popcorn! 🍿 No. 6 seed Andrey Rublev and No. 9 seed Grigor Dimitrov are set for a high-stakes U.S. Open showdown in the Round of 16. The two ATP stars cruised through their Friday matches, setting up what promises to be a fireworks-filled battle at Flushing Meadows.
Rublev’s Dominant Streak Continues
The Russian powerhouse smashed past Czech Republic’s Jiri Lehecka 6-3, 7-5, 6-4, winning a jaw-dropping 89% of points after his first serve. 💥 With this win, Rublev now leads their head-to-head 3-2. But here’s the kicker: he’s reached the U.S. Open quarterfinals four times before—and this could be his year to break that ceiling.
Dimitrov’s Moment to Shine
Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov, known for his silky-smooth backhand 🎯, also advanced Friday. While details of his match remain under wraps (we’re refreshing Twitter, too!), his clash with Rublev is already trending. Will Dimitrov’s experience give him the edge?
One thing’s certain: This match is a must-watch for Gen-Z tennis stans. Who’s your pick? Let the games begin! 👇
