In what has been an interesting week thus far at the Rotterdam Open with top seeded Medvedev losing in his first match as well as Kei Nishikori making a quarter final run, it is the younger Russian Andrey Rublev who will be making yet another ATP 500 tournament final. Rublev, who won three ATP 500 tournaments in 2020 finds himself in yet another final for an ATP 500 event.

Rublev has followed up his quarter final run at this year’s Australian Open with yet another stellar week in Rotterdam as he eyes his 8th ATP trophy on Sunday. The young Russian has made a burst on the tour following his stellar 2020 season where he won 5 tournaments and broke into the top 10 in the FedEx ranking system. Hoping to cap off yet another deep run at a tournament, Rublev will look to plow through the final with his powerful forehand leading the charge.

Facing Rublev on Sunday will be Hungarian Marton Fucsovics. The 29 year old veteran had to go through qualifying for the Rotterdam Open and has found his rhythm as he has reached his first ATP 500 tournament final in his career. Fucsovics made a third round push at the Australian Open defeating 2014 champion Stan Wawrinka in an epic 5 set match where he almost choked a 2 sets to none lead against the Swiss.

The Rotterdam final will begin around 8:30am CST with the winner taking home 2.155 million Euros and 500 ATP ranking points.
