Andrey Rublev pipped his compatriot in a nail-biter in Turin on Monday
Andrey Rublev was victorious in Monday’s all-Russian clash with Daniil Medvedev at the ATP Finals in Turin, Italy.
After disappointing exits in his previous efforts at the ATP Finals, sixth-seed Rublev signalled his intention to go all the way this time, in what was one of his finest performances of the year at the Pala Alpitour.
The 25-year-old showcased his robust power game to squeeze past the fourth-seeded Medvedev.
The score, when all was said and done, saw Rublev triumph 6-7(7), 6-3, 7-6(7) after finally scoring the match-winner of what was his fifth match point in their Red Group showdown.
And true to form, he had to overcome adversity to do so. Rublev allowed seven set points to evade him in what proved to be a nervy first set, including a 6-2 lead in the tiebreak, to hand the first set – and the ascendancy – to Medvedev.
