Andrey Rublev withstood a second-set collapse to eclipse world No 1 Jannik Sinner 6-3 1-6 6-2 in the quarter-finals of the Canadian Open in Montreal.
The Russian overpowered the defending champion in the early stages to race to the first set, but his momentum was halted by a half-hour rain delay. Sinner struck back after the break, clinching the second set without facing a single break point, before Rublev turned the tables in the third set by repelling five break point opportunities in the opening game on his way to opening up a 3-0 lead.
