Third-seeded Daniil Medvedev won the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships on Saturday when Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands was forced to withdraw due to a hamstring injury in the United Arab Emirates.
Griekspoor defeated another Russian, fifth-seeded Andrey Rublev, in straight sets in the semifinals on Friday but fought through the injury suffered in that match. He said after his victory that he would have retired from the match if he had lost the second set.
For Medvedev, this is his 23rd career title and second in Dubai (2023). This is the first time he has won a tournament for a second time.
He defeated top-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada in the semifinal and didn't drop a set in the tournament.
'Not how I want to win a final. Hoping the injury for (Griekspoor) is not too bad and wishing him a speedy recovery,' Medvedev wrote on X.
