Andrey Rublev Edges Felix Auger-Aliassime In Marseille To Claim 9th Title

Andrey Rublev won his ninth career title on Sunday by beating Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada 7-5, 7-6 (7/4) in the Marseille final. "All the battles I have had with Felix since the first time back in 2018 have had drama," Rublev said in his on-court interview.

The Russian, ranked seventh in the world, took revenge on the Canadian who won their meeting in the Rotterdam semi-final last week on the way to a first career title, after losing all eight previous finals he had played.
