The final match did not last even an hour. Harris had 4 breakpoints in the first set to get into the lead or level the score but he did not succeed. It was Rublev who converted his 2nd breakpoint and won the first set 6-3.
Young Russian was unstoppable in the second set. He allowed his opponent to win only 8 points while he managed to win 24. After triumphing 6-0 in the second set, Rublev recorded his fastest victory in the final when he won only after 57 minutes.
In the ATP Ranking, Rublev will move already to 16th place. At the 2020 Australian Open, Rublev will be facing Christopher O'Connel in the first round and will be looking to follow up on a great form in Australia.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
