Rublev Eases Past Daniel
Andrey Rublev is back in the semifinal of an ATP tournament after a couple of poor results in the last two tournaments. The Russian player knocked out Japan’s Taro Daniel in straight sets to reach the final four in Serbia.
Ranked No. 8 in the world, the second seed needed just an hour and 16 minutes to beat the Japanese player 6-3, 6-3. Rublev dropped just 10 points on his serve in the match. He saved the only break point that he faced and converted three of seven.
Friday’s quarterfinal win comes a day after Rublev scored a tough comeback win over Jiri Lehecka, beating the Czech player 4-6, 7-6 (7-1), 6-2 in over two hours.
The win improved Rublev to 21-5 for the season. It is the first time in over a month that he has won two matches in a row. He was knocked out in the round of 64 in Miami and the Round of 16 in Monte-Carlo. But before those two setbacks, he was in sensational form in the earlier part of the year, winning back-to-back titles in Marseille and Dubai and reaching the semifinals in Rotterdam and Indian Wells.
Into a fifth semifinal this year, can the 24-year-old reach a third final of the season?

Fognini Overcomes Otte
Italy’s Fabio Fognini had a tough start to his quarterfinal match on Friday, trailing Germany’s Oscar Otte 2-5 in the first set, but the World no. 62 made a solid comeback, winning five games in a row to take the first set.
The Italian also began the second set by winning the first two games, but Otte pulled the break back to draw level at 2-2. The Italian restored the advantage by breaking again in the seventh game and then held on for a 7-5, 6-4 victory.
This will be the second time this season when Fognini will be featuring in the semifinals. The 34-year-old, who improved his season record to 11-6 with Friday’s win, had featured in the final four in Rio in February.
He hasn’t reached a final since winning the Monte-Carlo Masters in 2019, which was his ninth title from 19th final. Can he pull of a surprise on Saturday and march into the finals again?
Rublev v Fognini Prediction and Tip
