Dubai Tennis Championships: Daniil Medvedev overwhelms Andrey Rublev to win title

Russian Daniil Medvedev swept past compatriot Andrey Rublev to win the Dubai Tennis Championship title and continue his superb run of form.

The 27-year-old beat the defending champion 6-2 6-2 to make it three titles in a row after victories in Doha and Rotterdam.

Medvedev dominated from the start, breaking his rival in the first game.

He maintained his focus to make it 14 matches unbeaten and secure a 18th tour-level title.

The former world number one did not drop a set all week and had ended Novak Djokovic's unbeaten start to the season in Friday's semi-final.
