Auger-Aliassime knocked out No. 3 seed Zverev in Round-3.
No. 15 seed Andrey Rublev will be facing off against Felix Auger-Aliassime in an electrifying Round-4 contest at the 2025 US Open. While both players have been highly impressive, their Round of 32 battles could not be more contrasting. Despite a huge difference in their ranking and experience, Andrey Rublev struggled and just about scraped though vs Coleman Wong. On the other hand, Auger-Aliassime arguably completed the upset of the tournament.
Experiencing his first major Grand Slam breakthrough, the 25-year-old Canadian dominated World No. 3 Alexander Zverev. After losing the first set, FAA showed the world just how high his peak can go. Yet, the real question remains whether Auger-Aliassime can sustain the heroics and knock off another seed. If not, his Russian counterpart will enter an 11th career major quarterfinal. Let’s see what the odds and predictions for this clash are, per the accurate data by BetMGM.
Andrey Rublev leads Felix Auger-Aliassime 7-1 in their head-to-head match-ups.
One of the highlights about the matches between these two ATP veterans, is the tight nature of scorelines. Despite 7 wins for Rublev, Auger-Alisassime did offer stiff opposition to Rublev on multiple occasions. Most of their matches have had tiebreakers, and very few ended in straight sets.

There is no doubt that Felix Auger-Aliassime will head into this match riding a wave of confidence. However, one of the biggest problems for the Canadian has been his inconsistency. FAA blows hot and cold – while his compact style of play keeps him afloat, he tends to wither as the match goes on. Moreover, his lack of a Plan-B against marquee opposition leaves him second guessing himself. On the other hand, Rublev is a tad more consistent, and will look to assert himself with his powerful forehands.
Prediction: Andrey Rublev in five sets.
Felix Auger Aliassime hits a SENSATIONAL backhand passing shot against Zverev at the US Open.

A passionate sports fan since childhood, it was always my dream to cover the peak of human potential. Baseball, Tennis, and Football (or Soccer) have been closest to my heart. From Rafael Nadal’s never-say-die attitude to Roger Federer’s beautiful backhand, I’ve seen it all. Prior to the Playoffs, I’ve worked in EssentiallySports and Pro Football and Sports Network.

Perhaps that’s why I love indulging in some fun banter and always try to inculcate a debate through my work. That’s why I encourage the readers to express their views freely – after all, that’s what makes sports fun.
