Russia’s Andrey Rublev reached the Monte Carlo Masters final with a 5-7 6-1 6-3 victory over American Taylor Fritz in a rain-interrupted semi-final.

The first set featured seven breaks of serve before Fritz won it, although Rublev fought back to take the second.

With the deciding set on serve, the players were off court for more than an hour because of the rain.

Fifth seed Rublev, 25, then broke Fritz’s serve in the first game after the restart on his way to the win.
