Stefanos Tsitsipas is through to the final of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships after easing past Dan Evans in another quality display from the Greek ace.

Tsitsipas claimed the tie in a 6-2, 6-3 win and will now take on Novak Djokovic in the final after he claimed victory over Gael Monfils in a similarly stunning display. He was pleased in the aftermath speaking in his post match interview.

”I just managed to stay solid throughout the whole match,” said Tsitsipas.

He continued: “I didn’t have massive breakdowns and just played a quality of tennis which I enjoyed… I am really impressed by the quality of my game today; I really hope to bring the same and possibly even better in the next round.”

On facing Djokovic in Dubai final

Ahead of facing Djokovic in the final, he spoke also about how he has the chance of beating the World Number One who has looked imperious; barring his match in spells against Monfils yesterday.

“He's in really good form and shape. He's been playing great tennis. Everybody has seen what he did at the Australian Open,” added Tsitsipas. “For sure, I'm going to have to bring the best out of my game and reduce my mistakes and in general reduce everything; stay aggressive like today I would say… It's going to take something extra for me to beat him tomorrow. I'm going to try and seek that.”
