Big shock!

For an ATP250 quarter-final we are in for a huge meeting and what's more it's a night session!

Very complicated first round for Rublev who fell on a huge Broady. The Russian appeared tense as always but it was in the game where I didn't find him perfect. Nothing serious, it's the first match of the season and he comes away with the victory! Fils also had to battle against a tenacious opponent, Huesler came very close to taking the first set but Fils was once again able to raise his level of play in the important moments. He's not perfect either, but like Rublev, the most important thing is to have gotten through it. Son's quality of movement should help him play Rublev to the fullest and take advantage of the slightest short ball to engage. Be careful, Rublev is capable of drastically raising his level of play and remains a super hard player to beat, he will have to be monstrous for at least 2 sets!
