The 22-year-old defeated Frenchman Adrian Mannarino 6-4 and 6-0 in the final of the 250cc tournament, earning his second ATP title overall.
Rublev thus confirmed its upswing in recent months. He was still ranked 112th in the ATP rankings in February, and on Monday he will take his place in the 22nd place.
In the summer, the youngster had played from qualifying to the quarterfinals of Cincinnati and beaten on the way there including Roger Federer from the square . At the US Open, he then came into the second round. In the semifinals of Moscow, he had won against Marin Cilic.
Rublev was already in the top 40 in 2018, but then had to contend with injuries.
