Qatar ExxonMobil Open: Rublev Reaches Semis

Doha, March 11 (QNA) - Andrey Rublev was the first player to reach the semi-final of Qatar ExxonMobil Open after Marton Fucsovics withdrew due to injury. Fucsovics reached the quarter-finals after beating Lloyd Harris yesterday 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 in a match that took more than two hours. Rublev's previous opponent Richard Gasquet also withdrew due to an injury, meaning Rublev reached the semi-final without having to play a match. The feat is the first of its kind since the establishment of the ATP Tour in 1990. He will face the winner from the match between Dominic Thiem and Roberto Bautista Agut. (QNA)
