Seed number 1 in San Diego, Andrey Rublev held his place against Diego Schwartzman and will face Cameron Norrie in the semifinals. The Briton got the better of Denis Shapovalov, seeded number 4.
Andrey Rublev will be there for the semi-finals in San Diego. The number 1 seed in the tournament, the Russian dominated Diego Schwartzman in two sets. The Argentinian completely missed his start to the match, finding himself broken in the first game. Andrey Rublev concluded the first round with a series of four games won consecutively, not without having discarded a debreak ball. The two players multiplied the opportunities to take the serve of the other during the first five games of the second set. It was finally Andrey Rublev who knew how to convert one first… to be immediately imitated by Diego Schwartzman. However, after missing another opportunity, the Argentinian conceded the match on his serve (6-1, 7-5 in 1h53 ‘). For a place in the final, Andrey Rublev will face Cameron Norrie. The Briton beat the odds in his duel against Denis Shapovalov, seeded number 4 in the tournament. After five first games without relief, the Canadian had the first break point of the match but was unable to convert it. In the process, the 28th player in the world did not hesitate and took the service of his opponent twice in a row to pocket the first set. Denis Shapovalov then stood up to the Briton but the latter ended up taking the ascendancy in the exchanges. Winning five games in a row and finishing on a shutout, Cameron Norrie validated his ticket for the last four in an expeditious manner (6-3, 6-1 in 1:07 ‘).
