    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds

    The head-to-head is very heavy to Andrey Rublev.

    But Felix Auger-Aliassime can hang on to the fact six of their eight meetings have gone the distance.

    It's just about what he can do to get through those big moments.

    Andrey Rublev has had the upper hand in the head-to-head against Auger-Aliassime, winning seven of their previous eight matches.

    But the 25th seed, who made the semi-finals of the US Open in 2021, showed what he can do against Alexander Zverev in the last round.

    So, who have you got?

    Thumbs up for Zverev, thumbs down for Auger-Aliassime.

    First up at Arthur Ashe Stadium today is a men's last-16 match between Andrey Rublev and Felix Auger-Aliassime.

    Rublev narrowly avoided a major upset in the third round, as he defeated Hong Kong qualifier Coleman Wong 2-6 6-4 6-3 4-6 6-3 in a thrilling match that tested both his physical and mental strength.

    25th seed Auger-Aliassime then caused a shock of his own, coming from behind to beat world number three Alexander Zverev 4-6 7-6 (9-7) 6-4 6-4 in a match lasting almost four hours.

    Rublev has dominated the head-to-head, winning seven of his eight matches against Canadian Auger-Aliassime.

    This one has the potential to be a classic.
