Medvedev defeats Rublev, takes on in Dubai and meets Tsitsipas
Daniil Medvedev won a 2-0 set against Rublev in the Dubai final and then attacked Stefanos Tsitsipas for an earlier remark he made about his compatriot.
Daniil Medvedev lost just four matches to Andrei Rublev in the grand final of this year’s Dubai Tennis Championships, dethroning last year’s champion at the ATP 500 tournament in the United Arab Emirates to win his third consecutive Tour title.
In the Russian “civil war” the 27-year-old won his 14th victory in a row and was crowned ATP tournament winner for the 3rd week in a row after his triumphs in Rotterdam (ATP 500) and Doha (ATP 250).
It took just 69 minutes to break the resistance of world No. 6 6-2, 6-2 and to win the 18th ATP title of his career, contesting in the 30th final.
The nail for Tsitsipas
Immediately after the endgame ended, Medvedev idolized Rublev and at the same time threw the finger at Stefanos Tsitsipas without naming him.
In particular, he referred to the remark the Greek tennis player had made about Rublev that he didn’t think he had many guns in his game, to which Medvedev clearly disagreed.
“I want to congratulate Andrei on his great week. I wanted to say that not so long ago a player said that he doesn’t have many weapons. I read that and wondered how anyone could say something like that.
Andrey is one of the most experienced players on the tour, he has yet to reach his full potential and I’m sure he can win Grand Slam titles, he can beat this guy who has said that many times and I wish him the same thing .
I’m saying it out loud so people know Andrei is one of the nicest guys on the tour. I congratulate him and his team and I hope we can play many more finals in the future.”

Sport.ua together with a betting partner bet announcing the upcoming fight!
Elina Svitolina
The Ukrainian athlete started this season brilliantly and currently has a streak of eight wins in official tournaments. Svitolina has already won the title in Auckland but she needs to perform well at the majors.
In the first round, the athlete defeated Spaniard Krystyna Buksha with scores of 6:4, 6:1, then defeated the young Polish player Linda Klimovichova with scores of 7:5, 6:1. The most difficult was the last match against the “neutral” Diana Schneider – 7:6, 6:3, in this match there were up to nine breaks. Svitolina won the last fight with her experience, made a little less mistakes, won a little more and finally put the finishing touches on her opponent.
The best performance at the Australian Open was in the quarter-finals; This was achieved three times, thus putting the tennis player one step away from repeating his personal best. If successful, Elina will compete with the winner of the Gauff-Mukhova pairing.
Mirra Andreeva
The “neutral” team also starts the season well but rarely behaves with dignity on the field. Andreeva reached the quarter-finals in Brisbane, where she deservedly lost to Marta Kostyuk in two sets. Later, the athlete managed to win the championship in Adelaide, beating Canadian Mboko in the final.
The tennis player is 18 years old and is not bothered by his busy schedule. Despite its place in the top 10, it lacks emotional stability. Andreeva started this tournament with a tough win against Donna Vekic – 4:6, 6:3, 6:0, then beat Greek Maria Sakkari 6:4, 6:0 and in the last match she beat Romanian Elena-Gabriela Ruse 6:3, 6:4. At the Australian Major the neutral team never advanced beyond the fourth round.
personal meetings
The tennis players played each other only once; The match took place in the quarter-finals of the Indian Wells tournament in March last year. Andreeva then won with scores of 7:5 and 6:3.
To guess
Bookmakers give a slight advantage to the “neutral”, which is explained by the fact that it is higher in the rankings and is also 13 years younger. Svitolina’s motivation will be very high in such a match.
I don’t think the winner will be determined quickly, so I’m betting on 1.76 out of 21.5 games in total.
