Taylor Fritz swept aside seventh seed Andrey Rublev 7-5 6-4 on Saturday to become the first American man to reach the Indian Wells final in a decade.

An Indian Wells semi-finalist in 2021, Fritz took another step by reaching Sunday's final where he will try to become the first American to lift the title since Andre Agassi in 2001."It doesn't seem real," said Fritz, after reaching his first ATP Tour Masters 1000 final."It's a dream come true. Rublev arrived at Indian Wells riding the momentum from back-to-back titles in Marseille and Dubai but saw his 13-match winning run come to a screeching end in the California desert.

The American had looked in complete command serving for the opening set at 5-3 when Rublev finally began to hit his mark and broke back.
