Andrey Rublev is in the semi-finals of a 1000 tournament for the first time

By no means, Andrey Rublev “only” can play successful tennis in 500 tournaments. The Russian won the last quarterfinals of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Miami against the young American Sebastian Korda 7: 5 and 7: 6 (7). And for the first time he went to the semifinals of a tournament of this category. Rublev shares this fact with the other semifinalists: neither his next rival, Hubert Hurkacz, nor Roberto Bautista Agut nor Jannik Sinner have made it so far.

Korda showed great comeback qualities and came back after a 3: 5 deficit in both sets. However, he gained a 4-2 lead in the second round tie-break. “If we talk about the second set, he could have won it more easily,” Rublev said after his success. But: “Maybe next time I will lose the second and third sets. Today I somehow managed to win and that makes me happy. “

Rublev now against Hurkacz

Rublev spared no praise for his opponent. “Sebastian is a great player, very talented. He has powerful blows, he is self-confident, he dares to do something. That is why he has beaten so many strong players. “

In the semi-finals, Rublev will now face Hubert Hurkacz, who was able to beat Stefanos Tsitsipas after falling behind. The Pole won the last match between the two in Rome last year.
