Rublev overcomes illness to claim Madrid Open

Andrey Rublev won his first Madrid Open title after overcoming sickness and dropping the opening set against Felix Auger-Aliassime 4-6 7-5 7-5.

The eighth-ranked player in the world, Russian, had a temperature going into Sunday's final and appeared ill when he fell behind 4-1 in the first set.

However, Rublev battled his way back into the match, winning both sets with strikes to overcome the world no. 35 and claim his second Masters 1,000 title.
