In case you missed it last night, Kecmanovic really earned that win over Zverev. It was an excellent match with a lot of spectacular points. That said, late in the third set tiebreaker, Kecmanovic won a long, grueling, brutal point, and Zverev was physically cooked for the last few points. He had nothing left at the worst possible time. If I liked him, I would have felt badly for him. Kecmanovic, on the other hand, looked like he was ready for two more sets.

And Meddy uses kind of a backdoor to side-step the curse of not winning the same title twice - he wins it without taking a court - on opponent's withdrawal.

It seems like it could be a little complicated for Mededev, and Griekspoor to get out of Dubai.

Daniil Medvedev wins the same tour-level event for the first time in his career. By ATP Staff

Medvedev claims Dubai title after Griekspoor withdraws
Griekspoor sustained injury in SF win over Rublev; Medvedev wins 23rd tour-level title
February 28, 2026

"I have been better, that's for sure," Griekspoor said during the trophy ceremony. "Unfortunately, I hurt myself during the semi-finals. I went to the hospital this morning and had a couple of scans, which showed something serious. It kept me from coming on court tonight and will keep me from the court in the coming weeks."

The title is Medvedev’s 23rd tour-level crown and second of the 2026 season after winning in Brisbane in January. It is also the first time the 30-year-old has won the same event twice, having previously triumphed in Dubai in 2023.

At No. 11 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings, Medvedev is just 45 points behind No. 10 Alexander Bublik while he bids to return to the Top 10 for the first time since June last year.

"That's what is crazy about it," Medvedev said when asked about winning the same event twice for the first time. "I never did it in any city in the world, and the first time I do it, it's [via] a walkover... We knew before the start of the week, the way I was practising, I couldn't miss a ball. We knew it was going to be a great week. It was a great week and I'm looking forward to the next tournaments to come."

With his 21st tour-level trophy on hard courts, Medvedev tied World No. 2 Jannik Sinner for the second-most on the surface among active players, behind Novak Djokovic (72).

Absolutely thrilled for Cobolli! Frances had such a strange week with some topsy turvy matches, but he did well to persevere into the final. Here's hoping Darderi can make it a sweep for young Italians this week.
