Andrey Rublev vs Nikoloz Basilashvili Prediction
Andrey Rublev is heavily favored to win this Round of 32 match at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia against Nikoloz Basilashvili. Rublev's superior ranking and more consistent recent form point towards a straightforward victory. Basilashvili's recent upset win in Rome is a positive, but Rublev presents a much tougher challenge.
Andrey Rublev host Nikoloz Basilashvili at Rome, Italy on Tuesday, part of the 2026 WTA - Internazionali BNL d'Italia season. ATP/WTA rankings, surface form, and head-to-head record are factored into the model alongside the prediction below.
ATS PREDICTION
Andrey Rublev Win
Predicted: 2-0 Sets (e.g., 6-4, 6-3)
โก68%
Andrey Rublev, ranked World #15, enters this match against Nikoloz Basilashvili, ranked World #118, as a significant favorite. Rublev has demonstrated strong form in 2026 with a 62.5% win rate, reaching the final of the Barcelona Open and advancing in the current Internazionali BNL d'Italia. While Basilashvili recently upset a top-10 player (Ben Shelton) to reach the third round in Rome, his overall 2026 record of 10 wins and 15 losses on all surfaces (40% win rate) is considerably weaker than Rublev's. Although the head-to-head record is a closer 4-3 in favor of Rublev, his current ranking and consistent performance on clay make him the superior player in this matchup. Rublev's ability to navigate challenging conditions and maintain focus, as seen in his recent victory over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, further solidifies his position.
SPREAD PREDICTION
Andrey Rublev -4.5 Games (-4.5)
68%
Considering the substantial difference in their current ATP rankings and recent form, Rublev is expected to win comfortably. Basilashvili, despite his occasional upsets, struggles with consistency over an entire match against top-tier players. Rublev's powerful groundstrokes and solid serve should allow him to break Basilashvili multiple times and secure the victory with a margin exceeding 4.5 games.
TOTAL PREDICTION
Under 20.5
60%
Given Rublev's strong favoritism and a likely straight-sets victory, the total number of games is projected to be under 20.5. A scoreline such as 6-4, 6-3 would result in 19 games, falling under this total. Basilashvili might win a few games per set, but Rublev's consistent pressure should prevent extended sets.
