He kept the lead going until the end. He stepped up to serve for the set at 5-3 and, after saving three break points, managed to clinch the set.
Rublev was off to a fast start in the second set as well, jumping to a 3-1 lead. Following a hold of serve from Zhizhen, the World No. 9 ran away with the last three games to win the match 6-3, 6-2. He has now reached his 11th quarterfinal of the season.
Adrian Mannarino knocked out three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka in the first round as he defeated the Swiss in three sets. He took on David Goffin in the second round, who stunned World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in the previous round.
Goffin raced to a 3-0 lead in the opening set. Mannarino had a break point later to get back on serve, but was unable to capitalize on the opportunity. The Belgian soon stepped up to serve for the first set and was able to claim it on his third set point.
Mannarino raised his level and turned things around in the second set. He broke his opponent's serve twice to grab the set and take the match into a decider. Both players had a few break point chances early on in the third set, but neither of them managed to convert them.

Andrey Rublev vs Adrian Mannarino prediction
The two have managed to reach the last eight in a contrasting manner. While Rublev has won his matches in straight sets and hasn't even dropped his serve, Mannarino has been pushed to three sets on both occasions.
The Russian's serve has been particularly impressive, winning a high percentage of points off it and not hitting a single double fault so far. While Mannarino's serving stats don't stand out as much, they're relatively decent. He utilizes his lefty serve quite well and his rally tolerance might end up frustrating his opponent into committing errors.
While Mannarino has managed to stage a successful comeback in his previous matches, he might not be able to do the same against the Russian. Rublev has looked rather sharp all week and if manages to build a healthy lead, he's unlikely to squander it. Expect the World No. 9 to continue his challenge in Astana.
Pick: Andrey Rublev to win in straight sets.
