Doha, Qatar: World no. 1 Carlos Alcaraz needed six match points before finally toppling defending champion Andrey Rublev 7-6 (7/3), 6-4 on Friday to reach the final of the Qatar Open.
Playing his first tournament since completing his career Grand Slam at the Australian Open earlier in February, Alcaraz will face Arthur Fils in the final.
The 21-year-old Frenchman was a 6-4, 7-6 (7/4) winner over sixth seed Jakub Mensik, who defeated Jannik Sinner in the last eight.
After two hours, two minutes on court, Alcaraz extended his perfect winning record to 11 matches this season.
"The way that I am approaching every match, I'm just really proud about it," said the seven-time Grand Slam winner.
