Stefanos Tsitsipas has finally managed to win a prestigious ATP 500 series tournament. In the final match of the tournament in Dubai, the world's 11th-ranked player overcame Felix Auger-Aliassime in straight sets.
Notably, Tsitsipas claimed his 12th title, but it was his first career victory at an ATP 500 series event. Before this, the Greek tennis player triumphed at the ATP Finals, three times at Masters events, and seven times at ATP 250 series tournaments.
Interestingly, Stefanos reached the Dubai final for the third time. In 2019, he lost here to Roger Federer, and a year later to Novak Djokovic.
It's intriguing that Tsitsipas reached a final for the first time since April last year, when he was defeated in the decisive match in Barcelona. It is worth noting that a week before that, the Greek secured a victory at the Monte Carlo Masters.
