Andrey Rublev to face Alexei Popyrin for ATP Montreal title

Andrey Rublev powered into his second ATP Masters 1000 final of the season on Sunday as he lined up a title match against Alexei Popyrin in Montreal. Fifth seed Rublev, who won the Madrid Masters title in May, overcame a two-hour rain interruption as he beat Italy’s Matteo Arnaldi 6-4, 6-2 in their semi-final. He faces off Monday evening for the trophy against Australian Popyrin, who put out last week’s ATP Washington winner Sebastian Korda 7-6 (7/0), 6-3 in 92 minutes.
