Casper Ruud needed three sets (6-4, 5-7, 6-2) to beat Andrey Rublev in the final match of the group stages of the Masters.

The Norwegian needed just one set to advance to the semi-finals, a mission he accomplished after winning the first set in 45 minutes.

Although he conceded the second set after being broken at 6-5, Ruud quickly raised his game in the final set to win his second match in this edition of the Masters.

Tomorrow, he will play the third semi-final of his Masters career against tournament favorite Jannik Sinner. An unexpected result for Ruud, who hadn't beaten a Top 10 player since April before the start of the event.

Ruud C • 6

Rublev A • 8

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
