Defending champion Novak Djokovic recovered from a set down to muscle his way past the seventh seed Andrey Rublev and set up a semi-final with eighth seed Jannik Sinner.

Rublev's reward for taking the opening set 6-4 after 45 minutes was a brutal 28-minute hammering in the second which Djokovic claimed 6-1.
