Andrey Rublev secured his first Madrid Open title in a thrilling three-set match against Felix Auger-Aliassime on Sunday. Rublev's victory came after Auger-Aliassime double-faulted on the final point, sealing the win for the eighth-ranked Russian.

This triumph marks Rublev's second Masters 1000 title, adding to his previous victory at Monte Carlo last year. Despite entering Madrid on a four-match losing streak, Rublev displayed resilience throughout the tournament, culminating in a hard-fought victory in the final.

In his post-match interview, Rublev expressed his pride in this achievement, describing it as the "most proud title" of his career. With 16 career titles to his name, including two this season, Rublev continues to solidify his position among the top players in the world.

Auger-Aliassime, while falling short in the final, showed grace in defeat, congratulating Rublev and acknowledging his opponent's deserving victory. The Canadian player's path to the final was not without challenges, benefiting from withdrawals and retirements by other players.

Injuries plagued the men's draw in Madrid, with notable absences including Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev, while others like Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal struggled with physical issues during the tournament.
