Andrey Rublev Qualified For The Final Of The Hing King Open

At the Hong Kong Open on Saturday, meanwhile, top seed and world No 5 Andrey Rublev booked his place in a first final of the year after being taken to three sets by Chinese wildcard Shang Juncheng.

Rublev lost the first set but fought back to win 4-6 6-2 6-3.

"It was a super tough match. He is super talented and super powerful, he was playing unbelievable, making winners from any position and I was thinking at some points I have no chance," Rublev was quoted as saying by the ATP Tour's website.

"I definitely wasn't surprised as he's beaten some great players this week and since the beginning of the match he was hitting with full power. I was just afraid what to do."

Rublev will now face Finland's Emil Ruusuvuori, who also fought back from a first-set loss (4-6 7-5 6-3) against Sebastian Ofner.
