Prediction published on 28/09/2026, 11:20  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 28/09/2026 at 12:17 in Tennis Predictions

The top two seeds meet in the final of the outdoor hard court Hangzhou Open final. Top seed Daniil Medvedev faces second-seeded Andrey Rublev and he has won eight of his previous ten matches against his fellow Russian. Our prediction is he will make that nine.

Daniil Medvedev is playing in his 44th ATP Tour singles final and he has won 21 titles on this surface. This year has already seen him win outdoor hard court tournaments played in Brisbane and Dubai. He also lost the Indian Wells final to Jannik Sinner. The last three sets he's played in finals have all gone to a tie-break.

Medvedev has dropped one set so far on his way to this final, doing so against Chak Lam Coleman Wong.

Of the ten previous matches between these two players, Medvedev leads 5-1 on this surface. 

It's four years since Rublev last beat Medvedev. He is playing in his 17th outdoor hard court final and has won 11 titles.

This is his first outdoor hard court final since February 2025.

He's also dropped just one set on his way to this final, doing so against Hugo Gaston.

In his last eight matches, he's played nine tie-breaks, so a side bet on one in this match could be successful.
