Stefanos Tsitsipas wins Dubai title

Fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas has clinched the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, beating Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-3 6-3 in the final.

It was third time lucky for the Greek, after losing consecutive Dubai finals - in 2019 to Roger Federer, and in 2020 to Novak Djokovic.

With his one-hour, 28-minute victory on Saturday, Tsitsipas claimed his 12th ATP Tour title and maiden ATP500 crown.
