Prediction for the ATP Hong Kong match between Andrey Rublev vs Fabian Marozsan, which will take place on January 2nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Andrey Rublev

After a disappointing final in Turin where Andrey lost all three matches, the Russian played four exhibition matches in the UAE at the end of December and won all of them. In the UAE, Rublev was stronger than Thompson, Kyrios, Tsitsipas and Nagal. It's hard to compare exhibition matches with official ones, but it's clear that Rublev's training is paying off. He's definitely ready for the new season.

Fabian Marozsan

The Hungarian had a tough time at tournaments in Almaty, Vienna and Paris, but in Belgrade he got two wins over Shan and Lajovic, even if he did lose in the quarterfinals to Laszlo Gyore 6-4, 6-2. Marozhan didn't win any tournaments in 2024, but he did manage to move up six places, from 64th to 58th at the end of the season. In Hong Kong, Fabian beat Roman Safiullin in two sets, with the score being 6:1, 7:6, and the match lasted 1 hour and 35 minutes. During the game, Fabian made 6 aces with three double faults, winning 73% of points on first serve and 48% on second. Here are his reception statistics: 38%/68%.

Expert Betting Tips

We're going with the favourite here. Andrey played a bunch of exhibition matches in December, and he won all of them, which shows he's all set for the start of the season. Also, Rublev already beat the Hungarian, who defeated Andrey's compatriot Roman Safiullin in the first round of the tournament. Roman must've shared his thoughts on his opponent with his national team colleague after the defeat. We think Rublev will start the official season with a confident victory over the Hungarian athlete.
