On the 1st local time, Greece's fourth seed Tsitsipas, who entered the singles final of the Dubai Men's Open for the third time, defeated the Canadian player Aliassime, who has been in good form recently, 6:3 twice, and finally realized his dream, and won the ATP 500 championship for the first time, which is also the heaviest outdoor hard court trophy.

Tsitsipas

"Nothing guarantees victory today, it's just pure fighting." After Tsitsipas lost to Federer and Djokovic in the men's singles finals in Dubai in 2019 and 2020, the 26-year-old one-handed backhand star finally got rid of the gloom of runner-up and won his 12th career tour title. It's something I've always wanted to accomplish, and I'm happy to say that I did. ”

Tsitsipas, who won the year-end finals and the ATP 1000 Masters, fought for 1 hour and 28 minutes in the United Arab Emirates to defeat his 16-win rival Aliassime, not only ending an 11-game losing streak in the ATP 500 showdown, but also returning to the top 10 for the first time since May last year, with a view to rising from 11th to 9th on Monday.
