🤜🤛 Andrey Rublev vs Gabriel Diallo H2H summary

We couldn't find details about latest H2H matches between Andrey Rublev and Gabriel Diallo.

1️⃣ Andrey Rublev form

Rublev arrives with strong serving form and recent wins but carries a vulnerability in tight deciders after a narrow loss in his last match. He has not played in this tournament yet, so he is fresh while his opponent already has match rhythm. Expect Rublev to lean on his serve and ace production, but tiebreak frailty can decide a close match.

🏟️ Tournament performance so far

Andrey Rublev has not yet played a match in this tournament.

Key tournament stats:
(no tournament stats available)

📈📉 Short & long term form

Rublev won 7 of his last 10 matches and maintains a solid long-term record (34-24 over the last 12 months), driven by a powerful serve and consistent service-hold patterns. Recent form shows elevated serving efficiency but poorer results in tiebreaks compared with his season average, which explains close defeats despite strong service numbers.

Key form stats:
Last 10 matches: 7-3
Short-term service points won: 69% / Ace rate ~10.4%
Tiebreak win rate — short term: 20% vs long term: 54%

📆 Year to date form

Rublev’s YTD record is focused on hard outdoor courts: 10-4 in 2026 with no titles yet; hard outdoor is his active surface and his best-performing surface this year. This match is played on hardcourt (outdoor), where Rublev wins 69% of service points, averages ~7.7 aces per match and converts breakpoints at 39%; those figures match or exceed his broader form, while his tiebreak success on this surface (33%) remains a weak spot compared with his overall service dominance.

Key YTD stats:
YTD (all / hard outdoor): 10-4 matches won-lost
Service points won on hard outdoor: 69%
Ace rate on hard outdoor: ~10.3% / Tiebreak win rate on hard outdoor: 33%

2️⃣ Gabriel Diallo form

Diallo brings big-serving firepower but inconsistent match outcomes: he won his opening match here with a dominant serve yet his recent 10-match record sits at 3-7 while his 12-month ledger is a solid 31-28. He wins a high share of service points and piles up aces, but conversion on break points and clutch tiebreak moments has cost him matches.

🏟️ Tournament performance so far

Diallo has won his opening match in this tournament behind a standout serving display and very few errors, taking a tiebreak and controlling his service games. He produced a very high ace rate and won a large share of service points, but he did not convert any break opportunities in that match.

Key tournament stats:
Fixtures won: 1
Service points won: 71%
Aces: 10 (ace rate 13.33%)
Double faults: 1 (double-fault rate 1.33%)
Breakpoints converted: 0

📈📉 Short & long term form

Short term, Diallo has won 3 of his last 10 matches and has struggled to finish tight moments; long term (last 365 days) he holds a 31-28 record and consistently produces strong serving numbers. His serving remains a weapon in both windows (high service-points won and ace production), but his tiebreak and breakpoint results have slipped recently compared with his 12-month averages.

Key form stats:
Last 10 matches: 3-7
Short-term service points won: 67% — short-term ace rate: 9.11%
12-month record: 31-28 — 12-month ace rate: 10.92% — tiebreak win rate (12 months): 52% (short-term tiebreak win rate: 44%)

📆 Year to date form

YTD Diallo is 3-6 across nine matches, with his best returns coming on outdoor hardcourts where most of his matches and wins occurred. This match is on hardcourt (outdoor); on that surface YTD his serve still produces free points but his breakpoint conversion is noticeably lower than his overall YTD numbers, which keeps him tough to break but limits match-closing opportunities.

Key YTD stats:
YTD overall: 9 matches, 3 wins
YTD (hardcourt outdoor): service points won 66% — ace rate 9.55% — breakpoint conversion 27%
YTD (all surfaces combined): service points won 74% — breakpoint conversion 50%

♟️ Tactics & playstyle

Rublev is a hard-court aggressor who dictates with a powerful forehand and a strong first serve, while Diallo is a serve-plus-forehand attacker who looks to end points quickly and use his serve to control games. The biggest difference is Rublev’s sustained offensive pressure and ability to create openings with his forehand versus Diallo’s shorter-point, serve-driven style; Rublev’s superior backhand defence and rally depth force extended patterns, while Diallo forces quick points and risks from the returner — compare first-serve points won (Rublev 78% vs Diallo 74%) and backhand total win rate (Rublev 27% vs Diallo 21%).

1️⃣ Andrey Rublev playstyle
Rublev attacks with heavy, flat groundstrokes and a dominant forehand that opens the court and finishes points; he holds serve effectively with a high first-serve points won rate and uses physicality to grind opponents down. His vulnerability comes through the backhand, which produces more errors and invites opponents to target that side, and his second serve can be pressured in long rallies. Rublev performs better under sustained pressure because he turns defence into offence and converts break chances, so betting lines that favour longer rallies and Rublev break opportunities make sense given his 78% first-serve points won and a 39% breakpoint conversion rate.

2️⃣ Gabriel Diallo playstyle
Diallo uses a reliable first serve and heavy forehand to shorten points and seize initiative; he wins free points and stays aggressive on serve, putting pressure on returners to create chances. His weakness is a less productive backhand and a tendency to struggle when dragged into long exchanges, and net play produces more errors than a pure finisher would. Diallo’s matches favor quick service holds and fast patterns, so betting on shorter sets or tight service games is reasonable given his roughly 74% first-serve points won and a backhand total win rate near 21%.

🎯Service comparison (last 365 days)

Rublev brings raw power and payoff on the first serve, averaging 7.97 aces per match versus Diallo’s 8.44, and converting 76.72% of his first-serve points while Diallo converts 73.91%, so Rublev wins bigger when his first serve lands but Diallo fires slightly more aces. Diallo wins a marginally higher share of overall service points (66.98% vs 66.33%) and lands far more first serves (69.33% vs 60.64%), which gives Diallo steadier hold ability, while Rublev’s higher double-faults (3.10 vs 2.42) and low second-serve in rate (35.52% vs 27.60% first-serve gap) expose him in extended rallies and pressure situations. Both players serve strongly overall, but the match will tilt on second-serve resilience and return pressure: Diallo’s cleaner second-serve numbers (57.03% vs Rublev’s 55.89%) and lower double faults give him the edge in tight service games, while Rublev’s superior first-serve point payoff threatens quick holds and free points.

Key service data:
Andrey Rublev | Gabriel Diallo
Avg. aces per match: 7.97 | 8.44
Ace rate: 9.96% | 10.92%
Avg. double faults per match: 3.10 | 2.42
Double fault rate: 3.88% | 3.14%
Service points won rate: 66.33% | 66.98%

👉 Total aces: over 15.5
👉 Total double faults: over 4.5

🔄 Return comparison (last 365 days)

Rublev gets to more breakpoints and converts them more often than Diallo, which gives him a clear edge in pressuring opponent service games; Rublev wins 36.83% of his points when receiving versus Diallo’s 34.09%, and he wins more return games per match (3.19 vs 2.76). Diallo relies more on his serve for wins — he wins 65.91% of his points on serve compared with Rublev’s 63.17% — so Diallo needs to hold serve consistently to deny Rublev momentum. This dynamic implies Rublev will drive the contest through return pressure while Diallo must protect his service games; the match outcome hinges on whether Rublev can convert his higher breakpoint access into multiple break games.

Key return data:
Andrey Rublev | Gabriel Diallo
Avg. breakpoints per match: 7.12 | 5.58
Breakpoints won rate: 39.23% | 37.99%
Points won rate when NOT serving: 36.83% | 34.09%
Points won rate when serving: 63.17% | 65.91%

👉 Andrey Rublev breakpoint games won: over 1.5

🧨 Advantage & pressure play (last 365 days)

Rublev dominates when he takes the first set and closes out matches strongly, while Diallo wins plenty of opening sets but is more vulnerable to collapsing if he drops early; both players struggle to recover after losing set one. Both hold serve well under pressure, winning the vast majority of deuce games as servers, but both fail to convert deuce receiver opportunities into breaks, which gives an edge to the stronger server in tight moments. Rublev’s steadier ability to turn a first-set lead into a match win and his slightly better resistance to being shut out position him to control the match tempo early; Diallo’s higher volatility in bagel games makes him dangerous in flashes but more exposed if Rublev sustains pressure.

Key data for advantge & under pressure play:
Andrey Rublev | Gabriel Diallo
Deuce games won as server rate: 72.00 | 71.00
Deuce games won as receiver rate: 29.00 | 31.00
1st set won -> match won rate: 88.24 | 78.79
1st set lost -> match lost rate: 74.07 | 80.77

👉 1st set winner: Andrey Rublev will win the first set @1.42

🔥 Tie-break performance (last 365 days)

Both players produce tie-breaks at a similar rate and have nearly identical win percentages (Rublev 51.85% vs Diallo 51.72%), so neither dominates on raw outcomes. Rublev scores more free points in tie-breaks with 16 aces (avg 0.80 per tie-break fixture) but struggles on deuce points (3 won, 5 lost, 38%), while Diallo serves fewer aces (11, avg 0.42) yet wins the crucial deuce moments (10 won, 8 lost, 56%), which gives Diallo the edge under pressure and exposes Rublev in prolonged exchanges. These strengths imply a match where Rublev can jump ahead with serve power, but Diallo wins tight finishes; the balance of aces versus deuce success will shape whether the match decides in a tie-break.

Key tie-break data:
Andrey Rublev | Gabriel Diallo
Avg. tie-breaks per match: 0.47 | 0.49
Tie-breaks won rate: 51.85 | 51.72

👉 Tie-break in match: NO

🏁 Final set performance (last 365 days)

Rublev dominates momentum creation in final sets, with higher average points from the last 10 (5.21 vs 4.88) and bigger max runs of points and games (6.72 pts and 3.67 games vs 6.23 pts and 2.89 games), so he builds streaks that turn tight games into breaks. Diallo wins more deuce games and controls serve under pressure, with a higher deuce win rate (53.00% vs 45.00%), more aces (2.66 vs 2.38) and fewer double faults (0.88 vs 1.31), so he closes out big points and keeps rallies short. Rublev’s streak-making ability will force Diallo to defend more, while Diallo’s serve and deuce edge will punish loose games—the final set will hinge on whether Rublev can string points together before Diallo wins the key deuce points.

Key final set data:
Andrey Rublev | Gabriel Diallo
Deuce games won in last set rate: 45.00 | 53.00
Avg. aces in last set: 2.38 | 2.66
