Griekspoor beat another Russian, fifth seed Andrey Rublev, in straight sets in Friday’s semifinals, but overcame an injury suffered in that match. He said after his win that he would withdraw from the match if he lost the second set.
For Medvedev, this is his 23rd career win and his second in Dubai (2023). This is the first time he has won a tournament for the second time.
He defeated top-seeded Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime in the semifinals and never dropped a set in the tournament.
