The last four of the ATP 500 in Dubai is on the menu this Friday. The first match has already given its verdict. Despite his renewed form, Alexander Zverev (#7) was stopped by the Russian Andrey Rublev (#2), who will play his first final in 2023. Next, Novak Djokovic will take the court to challenge Daniil Medvedev. Both players are on a hot streak and a great winning streak will be stopped this Friday.
Sascha is back to being Sascha, but patience is still required. Alexander Zverev, who defeated Lorenzo Sonego in his first semifinal since Roland Garros 2022 (and his injury), was defeated by Andrey Rublev 6-3, 7-6(9). The Russian, seeded second, had never beaten Zverev in five matches. This time, the world No. 6 exploited Zverev’s second point and had the merit of saving a set point in the tie-break. On Saturday, Rublev will play his first final in 2023 and will try to capture a 13th title.
