Aliassime faced France's Aris who had made it out of qualifying in the semi-finals, and it is worth mentioning that the two sides met in Doha last week, when Aliassime came back from behind. In this match, Aliassime once again staged a good comeback, he lost the first set 5-7, and then won two sets in a row 6-4, 6-3, and defeated his opponent "back-to-back" in the Middle East season. This is his third ATP Tour men's singles final this season (Adelaide and Montpellier have won), and he has won 16 matches this season, the most of any player.

Tsitsipas faced Gricosp, who had eliminated Medvedev in the previous round, in the semi-finals, and the two sides met in Rotterdam this season, when Tsitsipas won in three sets. Tsitsipas won 6-4, 6-4 with a break in each set, reaching the finals of his career for the third time (Federer in 2019 and Djokovic in 2020) and reaching the ATP 500 men's singles final for the twelfth time (0-11 previously).

Tsitsipas has the upper hand in their previous nine meetings with Aliassime with 6 wins and 3 losses. The final will start at 23:00 Beijing time tonight, whether Tsitsipas will be crowned ATP 500 champion for the first time, or Aliassime will win the third crown of the season, let's wait and see!
