MADRID — Andrey Rublev has beaten Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-3 to reach the Madrid Open final where he will meet Felix Auger-Aliassime. Auger-Aliassime advanced after Jiri Lehecka had to retire at 3-3 in the first set of their semifinal. The men's final for the clay-court event is on Sunday. Rublev entered the tournament on a run of four straight losses but now has four wins in a row. He beat defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals.
