Winner to face Popyrin or Landaluce in Round-3.

Aug 5, 2025; Toronto, ON, Canada; Andrey Rublev goes to serve a ball to Taylor Fritz (not pictured) at Sobeys Stadium.

Around half a month ago, he was defeated by the same man in Washington DC. On Sunday, World No. 11 Andrey Rublev gets his shot at redemption against Learner Tien of USA in the 2025 Cincinnati Open Round of 64. The southpaw will receive the unwavering backing of his home fans, as he looks to make it 2-in-2 against the Russian. Today, we look to preview this battle and give you the best betting odds (via BetMGM) ahead of the contest.

Andrey Rublev won the Qatar Open in February, after losing in the opening round of the Australian Open. In his next seven tournaments however, the 27-year-old notched merely two wins. Rublev then reached the final in Hamburg, before going through another patch of mediocrity. He has a 26-18 record in 2025, and reached the quarterfinal in his most recent event at Toronto. The four-time US Open quarterfinalist will be hoping to secure a Top-10 entry ahead of the major in New York.

It’s all smiles here 😁

One of the giant killers on tour, Learner Tien has a sensational record against top players in Round-2 of tour-level competitions. His moment of fame arrived at the Australian Open, when he beat Daniil Medvedev en route to the Round of 16 after coming through qualifying. The 19-year-old also reached the quarterfinal in Acapulco and Mallorca, leading to a 50% success ratio in 2025. He defeated Leandro Riedi 6-3 6-4 in the opener here on home soil.

Andrey Rublev vs Learner Tien ATP Cincinnati Open 2025 Prediction

Rublev tends to struggle against certain left-handers, and it was evident against Tien in DC. The American hits fearless groundstrokes on both wings, and has the youthful exuberance to match the speed of Rublev. He had a compact outing with 14 winners and 11 unforced errors in his opener, including a 70% success rate on serve. While Rublev will throw punches and call the shots, we believe Tien will prevail yet again.

Prediction: Learner Tien in three sets.
