But who will come out on top?<\/p>\n<h2>ATP Marseille Final Prediction<\/h2>\n<h4>Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Andrey Rublev<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> Rublev 2-1 Auger-Aliassime<\/p>\n<p>These two renew their rivalry from just a week ago when they met in the semi-finals of the Rotterdam Open. The three matches they&#8217;ve played against each other have all been three setters including at least one tiebreaker. That suggests, not a lot separates the two when their games stack up against each other.<\/p>\n<p>Felix Auger-Aliassime came into this tournament as the red hot player and the Canadian hasn&#8217;t disappointed. He is yet to drop a set this week and while he has started slow in his last couple of matches, Auger-Aliassime has recovered well both times to finish strong.<\/p>\n<p>Andrey Rublev has struggled in all his matches to dominate like he does but has demonstrated tremendous fighting sprit throughout.\u00a0 The Russian was stretched again in his semi-final match which means he doesn&#8217;t enter this final feeling completely assured about his game.<\/p>\n<p>The final shouldn&#8217;t be short on drama as both players play their game with intense passion for tennis. Auger-Aliassime has been winning a healthy percentage of points on his second serve and that&#8217;ll be key for the Canadian. Rublev like in all his previous matches will blow hot and cold and that&#8217;ll yield him a set but nothing more. Expect Auger-Aliassime to play his best match yet and back the Rotterdam trophy with another one here.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Auger-Aliassime in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"WO3xTjUIQbJbsaE6vU2XPQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1370392106\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'WO3xTjUIQbJbsaE6vU2XPQ',sig:'BEnf2Bl6ucLyYPUUgNwmKuHxdEhxr-eCBAo4EA9F5Wg=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1370392106',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just two men remain standing at the 2022 ATP Marseille Open and it&#8217;s going to be a worthy final to decide who gets to take home the trophy.
