“Two years ago, we were in the semifinals,” said Andrey Rublev. “We are going to do our best to go further.”

The No. 5-ranked Russian is the seventh player, male or female, to record 50 tour-level wins this year.

The Norwegian rallied from a set and a break down to score his first win over Rublev in five attempts and book a semifinal clash with defending champion Daniil Medvedev.

With four wins (three on clay) and no losses to Ruud, it sure seems like this match is Rublev's for the taking.

The Serbian conducted a brilliant 6-3, 6-2 performance against Andrey Rublev at the ATP Finals Wednesday and caught up with Prakash Amritraj afterwards in Turin.

Cam Norrie was called in as the second alternate after the 2018 champion was forced to withdraw with an injury.

The Russian didn't face a break point in his 10 service games Monday evening en route to securing a 6-4, 6-4 victory over the 2019 event champion.

Rublev is in the midst of a cold-streak, while Tsitsipas is battling an elbow injury, making this one a tough match to predict.

Monday's matches also feature five-time ATP Finals champ Novak Djokovic and WTA Finals top seed Aryna Sabalenka.

The Nitto ATP Finals moves to Italy and will host a septet of young contenders aiming to unseat the 20-time major champion.
