Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic proclaimed himself, for the fifth time in his career, champion of the Dubai tournament, after winning the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas (6-3, 6-4) in the final, thus raising his 79th title in the circuit and extend its undefeated from 2020 to 18 games.

The world number one, which on Friday secured its privileged position one more week over Rafa Nadal after reaching the semifinals, put his victory in an hour and 17 minutes and undid the draw that reigned in clashes with the Hellenic tennis player, who until this Duel was 2-2.

Showing off his best shots and after defending the only 'break' ball against which he had to face in the first quarter, the Balkan advanced with a break in the eighth game that earned him to win the sleeve.

Already in the second, the service of Tsitsipas broke in the fifth game, which responded with a 'counterbreak'. However, 'Nole' took advantage of his next break ball, in the ninth game, and confirmed the break in the next to end the contest.

In this way, Djokovic raises his fifth wound in the Asian contest, in which he already reigned in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013, and his title number 79 in the ATP circuit, all with a start of the overwhelming year, where he has won the 18 matches he has played and that have led him to conquer the ATP Cup and the Australian Open.
