Russia's Andrey Rublev celebrates after defeating Spain's Feliciano Lopez in their third round match at the Australian Open tennis championship in Melbourne, Australia, Saturday, Feb. 13
Andrey Rublev stayed on course for a quarterfinal match against ATP Cup-winning teammate Daniil Medvedev with a 7-5, 6-2, 6-3 third-round win over 39-year-old Feliciano Lopez.
Rublev and Medevedev both went unbeaten in the 12-team ATP Cup last week to clinch the title for Russia.
The seventh-seeded Rublev will meet Casper Ruud of Norway in the fourth round.
No. 5 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas beat Mikael Ymer of Sweden 6-4, 6-1, 6-1 in the third round. It was a much more straight-forward outing than his five-set marathon against Thanasi Kokkinakis in the second round.
