·250·ClayLuca van Assche defeated Andrey Rublev 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 — Estoril Open 2026 Quarterfinal.
Andrey Rublev and Luca van Assche are level at 1–1 across 2 recorded meetings.
The break points decided it. Andrey Rublev came in an 81 percent market favorite and manufactured 11 of them, but the top seed cashed one — ten of those chances landing in the opening set alone — while Luca van Assche saved 10 of the 11 he faced and converted 2 of 11 across the net. One break per set carried the ATP No. 86's comeback at the Estoril Open — game 4 for 3-1 in the second, game 3 for 2-1 in the third — with a 61-to-52 percent edge on second-serve points won underneath it. The result flips the pair's only prior meeting on record and books a semifinal with Hugo Gaston, ATP No. 107.
