Dubai Tennis Championships: Stefanos Tsitsipas beats Felix Auger-Aliassime to claim maiden title
Stefanos Tsitsipas secured a maiden ATP 500 title with a straight-set victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime in the final of the Dubai Tennis Championships.
The 26-year-old Greek produced a strong performance to beat his in-form Canadian opponent 6-3 6-3.
The fourth seed had reached the final of the tournament twice before, losing to Novak Djokovic in 2019 and then again to Roger Federer a year later.
Saturday’s win was world number 11 Tsitsipas’ 12th tour-level title, and the biggest outdoor hard-court trophy of his career.
He defeated 24-year-old Auger-Aliassime – who is leading the ATP Tour this season with 16 match wins and two titles – in one hour and 28 minutes, and will return to the top 10 of the world rankings on Monday for the first time since May 2024.
