MONACO (AP) — Fifth-seeded Andrey Rublev reached the Monte Carlo Masters final for the second time after rallying to beat eighth-seeded American Taylor Fritz 5-7, 6-1, 6-3 in a rain-interrupted contest. Rublev lost in the final two years ago. The Russian player goes for his 13th career title and first at Masters level against sixth-seeded Dane Holger Rune, who has won one Masters title. Rune also fought back to win 1-6, 7-5, 7-5 against No. 7 Jannik Sinner of Italy in another rain-marred match finishing under floodlights. The 21-year-old Sinner was competing in his third straight Masters semi this season.
