The last time the pair had played one another was in the last 16 of the 2022 US Open where it was Rublev who won in straight sets.

The Brit broke Rublev's serve for a third time, taking the first set 6-2.
Norrie's dominance continued as he broke Rublev in the third game of the second set, to lead 2-1, and then again soon after to make it 5-2.
World number seven Rublev saved a match point in the next game, fighting back to break Norrie, but the result was inevitable as the world number 12 held his nerve to take the second set 6-4.
It secured an eighth-straight victory for Norrie, who won the Rio Open two weeks ago, as well as spot in the quarter-finals for the third consecutive time at Indian Wells.
