Hong Kong Tennis Open: Andrey Rublev was pushed to the limit by Chinese wildcard Shang Juncheng before booking his spot in the final of the Hong Kong Tennis Open here on Saturday.

The top seed posted a 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 triumph over the 18-year-old Shang to advance to his 24th ATP Tour final, where he'll meet Emil Ruusuvuori on Sunday. Ruusuvuori personified resilience in a 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 two-hour tussle with World No.43 Sebastian Ofner.

"It was a super tough match. He's super talented and super powerful, he was playing unbelievable, making winners from any position and I was thinking at some points I have no chance," said Rublev after winning his maiden ATP Tour clash with Shang.
