Andrey Rublev reached the semi-finals undefeated at the Ultimate Tennis Showdown in London. The 26-year-old, who recently triumphed in Frankfurt, beat Benoit Paire 3-0 on Saturday. The Frenchman remained without a win in the British capital.
Second place in Group A went to Casper Ruud, who won 3-1 (16:10, 7:16, 13:12 and 17:8) in a direct duel against Diego Schwartzman.

In Group B, Jack Draper and Holger Rune celebrated promotion to the semi-finals. Draper initially benefited from a forfeit from his opponent Gael Monfils and then closed the group stage with a 3-1 win over Alexander Bublik. Rune, who was clearly inferior to Draper on Friday, qualified for the semifinals thanks to successes against Bublik and Monfils.
On Sunday, Rublev and Rune and Draper and Ruud will meet in the semi-finals. The two winners then play in the final.
