The 22-year-old beat Vasek Pospisil 6: 4, 6: 4 and remained undefeated in this Davis Cup week. Russia still lacks a point to make it into the final for the first time since 2007.
Rublev had to take the second pass after a break lead compensation, but struck directly back. He is currently in a 4-0 record in the past few days, he also won the dramatic doubles on Friday against Serbia .
Denis Shapovalov is now under pressure: he has to win against Karen Khachanov to keep Canada in the race.
