The Russian, seeded number 7, prevailed over the Spaniard, number 2 in the draw and reigning champion of the tournament, in three sets
ROME – Andrey Rublev surprisingly eliminates Carlos Alcaraz and reaches the semifinal of the Masters 1000 in Madrid. In the quarter-final match the Russian, seeded number 7, prevailed over the Spaniard, number 2 in the draw and reigning champion of the tournament, in three sets with a score of 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in two hours of play. Rublev awaits the winner of the match between the American Taylor Fritz and the Argentine Francisco Cerundolo in the semifinals.
ATP ranking, Sinner leads Alcaraz
A defeat that also weighs heavily on Alcaraz’s ranking: the Spaniard, in fact, won the Madrid tournament last year and will therefore not be able to defend the 1000 points achieved in 2023. Good news for Sinner: the blue will still gain a bit of ground on his opponent in the ATP rankings, which also sees Djokovic in command.
