Securing a spot in the Qatar Open finals proved to be a difficult task, as Andrey Rublev readily acknowledged. Following his win over Felix Auger-Aliassime, the Russian ATP star spoke about the immense effort required to win.

“[It took] everything. It was super tough today. I felt like there was not much I can do if he is serving [like that]. I just needed to be really lucky to break him… He was serving well and I was just saying, ‘Okay, I cannot do much, this is one of the best servers on Tour. I just need to try to guess and when I have a moment, just go for it.' At 6-5 was the only match point I had, a good [opportunity], and I missed by a little bit. But it happened," Rublev said, in a post-match interview.

The Russian now prepares for another challenge against Jack Draper and will be aiming for his first title since winning the Madrid Open trophy in 2023.
