Astana Open Final: On Saturday in Astana, Stefanos Tsitsipas defeated Andrey Rublev 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 to go to his sixth-season final.
Stefanos Tsitsipas defeated Andrey Rublev in Astana on Saturday, coming from behind to advance to a final against either Novak Djokovic or Daniil Medvedev. The third-seeded Greek triumphed 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 to advance to his sixth-season final. The Wimbledon champion Djokovic or the former world number one Medvedev will face the winner of the second semi-final on Sunday. Being put down was difficult, Tsitsipas said. It was a pretty physical encounter since I had to contend with a very skilled opponent on the other side of the net.
“I feel proud of myself for having been so adamant about making things work so effectively.”
Fifth seed Rublev won the first set thanks to a break in the first game of the encounter.
To force a decider, Tsitsipas made his move in the tenth game of the second set after improving throughout the match and saving five of six break points.
After two hours and ten minutes, the 24-year-old finished off the match with a flourish, bringing his overall record against Rublev to 6-4.
Tsitsipas continued, “My thinking kind of shifted. “I had nothing by luck and I played with a more aggressive game style.”
