Tsitsipas ends losing streak in ATP 500 finals by beating Auger-Aliassime to win Dubai Championships
Stefanos Tsitsipas secured his first ATP 500 title by beating Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-3, 6-3 in the Dubai Championships final on Saturday. The 11th-ranked Tsitsipas lost all 11 previous finals he played in ATP 500 events — including in Dubai in 2019 and 2020 — but needed just under 90 minutes to claim his 12th career title and first of the year. “It’s a big relief that I’m able to hold that trophy after the third attempt," said Tsitsipas, who lost to Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in his previous two Dubai finals.
