The Argentine Francisco Cerúndolo, defending champion, lost this Saturday with the Russian Andrey Rublev in three sets in the semifinals of the ATP 250 in Bastad (Sweden), which frustrated the intention of winning his second circuit title of the year.
The Moscow tennis player won 7-6 (6), 6-7 (7) and 6-3 in two hours, 47 minutes, and maintained the same goal as his rival after consecrating himself this year in the Monte Carlo Masters 1000, also on brick dust.
Rublev, 25, world number 7 and second seed in the tournament, will define the crown this Sunday against the Norwegian Casper Ruud, the first seed, who eliminated the Italian Lorenzo Musetti (6-3, 7-5).
Cerúndolo (20th), the Argentine tennis player with the best ranking, had beaten the Russian in the previous match (Hamburg 2022).
