Not everything in tennis is predictable. Andrey Rublev, who had been stuttering for weeks, calmly disposed of Taylor Fritz (ranked 13th in the world) to reach the final (6-4, 6-3). As efficient as ever on serve (83% of points won on first serve) and incisive on return (4 successful breaks), the Russian gave his opponent no chance.
After a match of the highest quality (20 winners, 5 aces, 10 unforced errors), the world number 8 will attempt to win his second Masters 1000 title this Sunday (after Monte-Carlo 2023). Should he win the title, he would take the opportunity to climb back up to No. 6 in the world rankings.

In the final, he will face the winner of the match between Felix Auger-Aliassime (35th) and Jiri Lehecka (31st).
