Qatar Open 2025: Rublev beats Auger-Aliassime to meet Draper in final

The Hindu  

Former winner Andrey Rublev reached the final of the Qatar Open on Friday with a 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 win over Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime, and will meet Jack Draper in the decider after the Briton beat Czech Jiri Lehecka. Rublev, the winner in 2020, took the opening set with a break in the final game before Auger-Aliassime broke the Russian fifth seed’s serve early in the second set and hit three aces in the final game to serve out for the set. The Czech, who beat top seed Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals, took the opening set, but after they traded breaks of serve in the second, eighth seed Draper came out on top in the tiebreak. “I’m definitely a different player since I last played him,” said Draper, who last faced the Russian at the 2023 U.S. Open.
