Rublev continues his resurrection in Madrid!

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).
