Overall, Rublev is 33-9 this year and reached his first Masters 1000 final in Monte-Carlo, before falling to Stefanos Tsitsipas. He also reached the semifinals in Miami, falling to Hubert Hurkacz.

A four-time major quarterfinalist, Rublev, who has a total of four ATP titles, began his Halle campaign with a 6-3, 7-6 (7-5) win over compatriot Karen Khachanov in the first round. The fourth seed then defeated Australia’s Jordan Thompson 6-4, 6-4 in the Round of 16 and Germany’s Phillip Kohlschreiber 7-6 (7-4), 6-2 in the quarterfinals.
