This week, Andrey Rublev will be hoping to repeat his antics from 2024, when he reached the final of this event. However, the Russian hasn't had the ideal preparation, playing no hard-court tennis in the run-up to the action in Montreal, where he's up against Juncheng Shang, who has already played at the tournament, taking well to conditions, winning in straight sets.
As the current rankings suggest, Andrey Rublev should be winning this match, and really, he should be winning it with ease, but the same was true when the pair last met, yet on that occasion, the Russian player needed three sets to come out on top. If we consider that Rublev has not played any hard-court tennis in months, considering also that he hasn't played competitively at all for nearly a fortnight, then it's not overly difficult to make a case for a bet on the Shang to avoid a straight-set defeat at odds of +100.

Our Juncheng Shang vs Andrey Rublev Prediction
It's been many months since we last saw Rublev on a hard court, and it's not as if he was thriving on this surface back in the spring, losing each of his last three hard-court matches, all three of which came against lower-ranked players. If we factor in that Juncheng Shang has previously avoided a straight-set defeat against the Russian on a hard court, and also consider that Shang has played much more recent hard-court tennis than his opponent, it becomes easy to conclude that the Chinese player is too generously priced.
