Andrey Rublev began his bid to win his third title of the season at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships with victory over Lorenzo Musetti.
The Russian ace claimed victory 6-4, 6-4 in just over an hour as he makes his debut at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships after only having a qualifying appearance to his name before.
He won 84 per cent of first-serve points (26/31) to earn an impressive 14th victory in 16 matches this season. Joao Sousa or Filip Krajinovic await the now World No.14 next up.
Karen Khachanov is also through surviving a close first set to defeat Mikhail Kukushkin. He had to come from a break down twice in the second set but eased through from there 7-6, 6-1.
Philipp Kohlschreiber also came through a tough first set which he lost out in to record victory over Mohamad Safwat. He was downed 6-4 in the opening stanza but fought back to ease through 6-4, 6-0 from there.

- 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".
