Andrey Rublev Reaches Madrid Semis

Rublev Defeats Hurkacz

Andrey Rublev earned the biggest win of his season on Wednesday at the Mutua. The Russian defeated world number nine Hubert Hurkacz in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, to reach the semi-finals. It was Rublev's first win over a top-10 opponent since February.

Rublev Faces Fritz

Rublev will face Taylor Fritz in the semifinals on Friday. Fritz, the world number 13, has been in good form this season, reaching the final of the Indian Wells Masters and the semifinals of the Miami Open. He defeated Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals of the Madrid Open on Wednesday.

Rublev's Resurgence

Rublev has struggled for form in recent months, but he has shown signs of improvement in Madrid. He has won his last three matches in straight sets and has not dropped a set in the tournament. A win over Fritz would give Rublev his first title of the season and would be a major boost to his confidence.

The match between Rublev and Fritz is expected to be a close one. Both players are in good form and are capable of winning the tournament. Rublev will be looking to continue his resurgence, while Fritz will be looking to reach his first Masters 1000 final.
