Andrey Rublev failed to capitalise on two match points and quelled a barrage of attacks from Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan to reach his maiden quarterfinals with thrilling five sets win at Wimbledon here on Sunday.
Rublev, the World No. 7 looked in firm control of their men`s singles fourth-round match after winning the opening two sets. But Bublik claimed the third and fourth, saving two match points in the process, in tie-breaks. He kept the 25-year-old Russian on the backfoot with massive serving before Rublev roared back to win 7-5, 6-3, 6-7(6), 6-7(5) 6-4 after three hours and 17 minutes.
