The Russian advanced to his first ATP Tour final on grass on Saturday, beating Georgian Nikoloz Basilashvili 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 after one hour and 48 minutes of play at the NOVENTI OPEN in Halle.
The fourth seed reached the final after overcoming a packed round trip match. The Russian’s right wing flew in a day of high temperatures over the German grass, where he barely conceded two break balls to Basilashvili in the entire match.

The victory allows Rublev to extend his love affair with the ATP 500 tournaments. Since the competition was resumed in the midst of a health emergency due to COVID-19, the Russian has accumulated a record of 29-2 in events of this category, including the titles won in Hamburg, Saint Petersburg, Vienna (all in 2020) and in Rotterdam this season.
Rublev will play the final of the NOVENTI OPEN against the winner of the duel between Italian Matteo Berrettini and Australian Alex de Miñaur.
