2023 French Open: Andrey Rublev Overcomes Taro Daniel for Third Round Spot and Sets Sights on First Grand Slam Title

In 2023, Andrey Rublev advanced to the third round of the French Open after a tough second-round victory over Taro Daniel. The sixth seed from Russia faced a challenge from Japan’s Daniel before coming out on top with a 6-2 6-7 (3-7) 6-3 7-5 win.

Rublev, who has yet to go beyond the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam, showed resilience on Court Simonne-Mathieu as he battled through the match. Despite struggling with his on-court demeanor and throwing his racquet in frustration at times, the 26-year-old eventually managed to secure the win in a match that lasted three hours and 11 minutes.

Up next for Rublev is a match against either Pedro Martinez or Thiago Agustin Tirante in the following round. Meanwhile, French number one and 17th seed Ugo Humbert suffered a defeat to Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego earlier in the day.

On day one of the tournament in Paris, world number three Carlos Alcaraz and Britain’s Andy Murray were also in action. Alcaraz faced lucky loser J.J. Wolf, while Murray took on his old rival Stan Wawrinka in the night session on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
