Medvedev defeats Rublev, takes on in Dubai and meets Tsitsipas

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.”
