Sebastian Korda to face Rublev in Gijon Final on Sunday

Sebastian Korda will face Andrey Rublev in the Gijon Open final after battling past Arthur Rinderknech 7-6(2) 6-3.

The American has quietly put together a really solid week in Gijon after some poor results recently. Korda has played a lot of indoor tennis in his career so his familiarity with indoor tennis helped him this week. He was also a bit lucky to face a solid but not great Rinderknech who used up all his luck against Carreno Busta the previous day.

As expected the first set was a tricky affair for both they managed to navigate it well enough to set up a tiebreak. Korda had breakpoints while Rinderkench had set points but it ended in the tiebreak. It was the American who proved better outplaying the French player and taking it 7-2.

Korda benefitted from being the superior talent and finding a better level in crucial moments. It was even more evident in the second set when the French player's level dropped off a bit as Korda was able to take a lead and comfortably hold it until he finished off the match 6-3.
