Prop Bets: Andrey Rublev VS Felix Auger-Aliassime 2025-09-01
"Felix vs. The Russian Roulette: Can Auger-Aliassime Defuse Rublev’s 7-1 Head-to-Head Curse?"
Felix Auger-Aliassime, the Canadian underdog (+115 American odds, 47.6% implied probability) and 2.1 decimal favorite (47.6% implied), faces a familiar foe in Andrey Rublev (1.71 decimal, 58.5% implied; -150 American, 60% implied). Rublev, the 15th seed, holds a 7-1 edge in their head-to-head, but Aliassime’s recent four-hour demolition of Alexander Zverev—including 50 winners and a tiebreak thriller—proves he’s no pushover.
The Stats That Make You Grin:
- Rublev’s Spread: He’s -1.5 sets (1.85 odds), meaning he must win by two sets to cover. Easy, right?
- Totals Market: Over/Under 40.5 games (1.85-1.98 odds). With both players prone to long rallies, bettors are bracing for a marathon.
Player Props?
While no specific aces or serve stats are listed, the "totals" line hints at a high-octane clash. If you’re feeling lucky, back the Over 40.5 games—Aliassime’s last match vs. Zverev featured 48 games.
The Verdict:
Rublev’s the favorite, but Aliassime’s mental toughness (and that “odor of marijuana, screams, and the Alcaraz phenomenon” from the US Open atmosphere) could spark chaos. Imagine Rublev, head-to-head king, getting tiebroken into oblivion by a Canadian “underdog” who’s clearly mastered the art of “para algunos puede que sea la primera vez que me vean esta noche” (translation: “For some, this might be the first time they see me tonight”—aka, surprise, baby!).
Prediction: Aliassime pulls off the shocker, 7-6(8), 4-6, 7-6(7). Rublev’s 7-1 record? Now 7-2. And the spread? Aliassime +1.5 sets. Covering, baby!
Bet responsibly. Or don’t—this is tennis, where even favorites occasionally eat humble pie (and it’s sprinkled with Zverev’s ashes). 🎾🔥
