Andrey Rublev Beats Taro Daniel To Enter Semifinals

Second seed Andrey Rublev produced a stunning display of forehand hitting to overwhelm Taro Daniel in the quarter-finals and reach the semi-finals of the Serbia Open, here on Friday.

World No 8 Rublev registered a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Daniel in a 74-minute long quarter-finals of the ATP 250 event, setting a last-four meeting with Fabio Fognini.

"I was a bit stressed because the weather was really tough. The conditions were so windy, the ball was moving a lot, so I needed to slow down, take more care. I felt I was playing well, I felt like I had control of the ball and I couldn't take that many risks because of the wind," said Rublev after the match.

Fognini moved past Germany's Oscar Otte with a 7-5, 6-4 win earlier on Friday. IANS
