Andrey Rublev was leading Jannik Sinner 2-1 on Thursday when the Italian retired due to a right foot injury. Rublev advances to the quarter-finals of the Erste Bank Open, where he will play second seed Dominic Thiem or Chilean Cristian Garin.
Rublev is into his ninth tour-level quarter-final of the season from 12 tournaments. He is tied with World No. 1 Novak Djokovic atop the 2020 ATP Tour titles leaderboard with four trophies apiece. The 23-year-old, who also made the last eight in Vienna last year, has triumphed in Doha, Adelaide, Hamburg and St. Petersburg this season.
