Daniil Medvedev continued his resurgent form with victory in the final of the ATP tour event in Dubai, where he defeated compatriot Andrey Rublev in straight sets. Medvedev triumphed 6-2 6-2 over world number six Rublev, who was defending champion at the tournament. The title in Dubai was an 18th at ATP tour level for Medvedev, who extended his unbeaten run to 14 matches. He has won the last three tournaments he has entered as he aims to climb back up the ATP rankings. Rublev had reached the final in Dubai after beating Germany's Alexander Zverev in two sets in the previous round, sealing the win in a dramatic tie-break.

However, he fell short of clinching what would have been a 13th ATP title of his career. The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships became the first ATP event to see an all-Russian final since 2008, when Igor Kuritsyn defeated Marat Safin during the Kremlin Cup.
