Daniil Medvedev outclassed Andrey Rublev and completed an ATP Tour hat-trick on Saturday when he overcame his Russian compatriot to win the Dubai Tennis Championships.
The third-seed Russian produced a dominating performance throughout the 68-minute clash .
Having lifted trophies in Rotterdam and Doha in February, Medvedev has three titles in as many weeks since 2021, joining Casper Ruud (July 2021) and Felix Auger-Aliassime (October 2022).
Following his 18th tour-level title, Medvedev will next compete at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, where he will be looking to continue his winning run. The former World No. 1 is six victories from equalling his career-best winning streak on the ATP Tour, having earned 20 consecutive victories from November 2020 to January 2021.
Notably, Medvedev has won his 18 tour-level titles in 18 different cities. He is the first man in the Open Era to accomplish the feat.
