Beijing ATP: Rinderknech Gets Revenge on Goffin, Rublev Knocked Out Early

In Beijing, Arthur Rinderknech had previously failed in the final round of qualifying, losing to David Goffin. However, the Frenchman benefited from Tomas Martin Etcheverry's withdrawal to enter the main draw.

In an ironic twist, he had to face the Belgian again in the first round. But this time, the match went in Rinderknech's favor. Despite being a break down in the final set, he ultimately won 6-4, 3-6, 6-4. He will next face Alex de Minaur or Yunchaokete Bu.

After a first-round loss in Hangzhou to Valentin Royer, Andrey Rublev was hoping to redeem himself in Beijing against Flavio Cobolli. Unfortunately for him, he lost 7-6, 6-3. The Italian will next face Learner Tien or Francisco Cerundolo.
