Rublev Leads Rain-Interrupted Match at National Bank Open Semifinals

“`wordpress
MONTREAL – The fifth-seeded Andrey Rublev was in control of his match against Matteo Arnaldi when play was suspended due to rain. Rublev was leading 6-4, 1-1 in the National Bank Open semifinal when adverse weather conditions forced the players to retreat.

Rublev has had an impressive season, having already secured victories in Madrid and Hong Kong. The 26-year-old Russian demonstrated his strength by defeating the top-seeded Jannik Sinner on Saturday night with scores of 6-3, 1-6, 6-2, in a match also affected by weather interruptions.

In the other semifinal, American player Sebastian Korda, who won the Washington tournament the week before, was set to face Alexei Popyrin from Australia. Earlier on Sunday in the quarterfinals, Korda triumphed over the second-seeded Alexander Zverev with a score of 7-6 (5), 1-6, 6-4, while Popyrin emerged victorious against the fourth-seeded Hubert Hurkacz with scores of 3-6, 7-6 (5), 7-5.

Rain has significantly impacted the tournament, which was paused on Thursday evening and all day Friday, as remnants of Tropical Storm Debby affected the region. This has resulted in delays, and the tournament is scheduled to conclude on Monday.

Fans and players are now hopeful that the weather will clear so they can complete the thrilling matches in this prestigious tournament.
