Rublev was in control from the outset, breaking De Minaur's serve twice in the first set to take an early lead. The Russian continued to apply pressure in the second set, breaking De Minaur's serve once more to take the match to a 5-1 advantage.

De Minaur fought back to hold his serve in the seventh game, but Rublev closed out the match in style with a hold to love in the eighth game.
