Daniil Medvedev has been on fire in the past few weeks, and he scored another major victory in Dubai. He defeated the defending champion Andrey Rublev in the all-Russian final at the Dubai Open, collecting his third title in three weeks. Medvedev dominated the match from the get-go and scored an easy 6-2 6-2 win against Rublev. This marks his third title in a row after triumphs in Doha and Rotterdam, and these victories mean a lot to him because his start of the year was pretty rocky. "In tennis, when you don't win tournaments you're always doubting no matter what happens in practice, so I was doubting a lot and now it just feels better. I'm really happy with these three weeks and looking forward to the next ones,” said Daniil Medvedev Medvedev was truly a force to be reckoned with in Dubai, and he even defeated the no. 1 seed Novak Djokovic on his way to the final, snapping his 20-match winning streak. His win against Rublev was just the icing on the cake, and he climbed to no. 6 in the ATP rankings following this victory. He also made history as the first man in the Open Era to win his 18 tour-level titles in 18 different cities.
