The meeting lasted 1 hour and 15 minutes and ended with a score of 6: 3, 6: 2 in favor of the 27-year-old Russian, who won his 15th victory this season, with only two defeats - to the Austrian Dominik Thiem in the second round of the tournament in Dubai and Serb Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of the Australian Open.

For Karatsev, this is the first title in the very first final at the ATP tournaments in his career.

Earlier, Tarpishchev expressed the opinion that Karatsev could get into the top 20 of the ATP ranking this year.
