Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Jesper de Jong, a 24-year-old player from the Netherlands, will face off against the fourth-seeded Andrey Rublev. De Jong is currently ranked 94th in the world, which is his career-high ranking achieved in April 2025. He had a successful start to the 2025 season with a semifinal appearance in Montpellier, where he defeated Cobolli, ranked 34th, and his fellow countryman Griekspoor. This was de Jong’s first ATP Tour semifinal.

De Jong made his ATP Tour debut in 2022 at ‘s-Hertogenbosch as a Wild Card entry and earned his first tour-level win in the main draw of the 2024 Australian Open as a Qualifier, where he defeated Cachin. He had a strong showing in Grand Slam qualifying in 2024, going 9-2 and eventually losing to the eventual champions Sinner and Alcaraz in the second round at the Australian Open and Roland Garros.

In addition to his ATP Tour performances, de Jong has a solid record in Challenger events, with a 107-74 record. He came from qualifying to reach his first final and claim the title at the 2021 Almaty-2 tournament. Although de Jong has a challenging record against top-ranked players, with a 0-3 record against top 10 players, he aims to secure the biggest win of his career and earn his second Top 50 win on clay. Last year, he defeated No. 39 Draper in the first round of Roland Garros.

De Jong achieved his Top 100 debut on March 31, 2025, and he aspires to become the first Dutchman to earn a main draw win in Barcelona since de Bakker defeated E. Ymer in the first round in 2016.

On the other hand, Andrey Rublev, 27 years old and currently ranked 8th in the world, has had an impressive career. He broke into the top 20 in January 2020, the top 10 in October 2020, and reached a career-high ranking of 5th in September 2021. Rublev showed great resilience in his career, rallying from a set down to win both the semifinals and finals of the 2023 Monte-Carlo tournament, an ATP Masters 1000 event. He also defeated the two-time defending champion, Alcaraz, along the way to his second title at the 2024 Madrid tournament.

Rublev has had notable victories over top-ranked players, such as Nadal in 2021 Monte-Carlo, Medvedev in 2021 Cincinnati, and Sinner in 2024 Montreal, en route to ATP Masters 1000 finals. He claimed his 11th ATP Tour title by defeating Djokovic at the 2022 Belgrade tournament. In 2020, Rublev led the tour with 5 titles, tied for the tour lead with 41 victories, and had a winning streak of 23 matches and 4 titles in a row at ATP 500 events.

With ten Grand Slam quarterfinal appearances, Rublev reached the semifinals of the 2022 Nitto ATP Finals and won a gold medal in mixed doubles at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics alongside Pavlyuchenkova, held in 2021. He also had an outstanding performance in team events in 2021, sweeping titles at the ATP Cup, Laver Cup, and Davis Cup.

Rublev made his Barcelona main draw debut 10 years ago as a qualifier ranked 329th. He earned his first clay win on the ATP Tour by defeating Verdasco, ranked 37th, in the first round. Last year in Spain, he suffered an opening-round loss to Nakashima in Barcelona but bounced back by winning his second ATP Masters 1000 title in Madrid.

It is worth noting that the match between de Jong and Rublev will take place in the Pista Andres Gimeno.
