Andrey Rublev sets up Mubadala final against Tsitsipas

Andrey Rublev had no issues taking down Carlos Alcaraz in Abu Dhabi as the Russian smashed his opponent 6-2 6-1 to move on to the final.

It will be a Rublev against Tsitsipas final in Abu Dhabi as both of them easily smashed their opponents in the semi-finals. The matches were quite similar as both featured players that played last week and did well. Both opponents had not played in a while and it showed as they were struggling to find a good rhythm.

It was particularly true for Alcaraz who was off for most of the day and couldn't get anything going. His last match was in Paris a month ago and he hasn't played much tennis since then. Rublev played last week and did pretty okay with his level here already better than before. He's looked pretty good over the years in the Gulf so the win was not surprising.
