Andrey Rublev succumbed to a completely injured Tallon Griekspoor from the end of the first set, watching his chance to reach the final of the ATP 500 Dubai 2026 slip away cruelly. "It hasn't been easy at all, I had many opportunities and I didn't take advantage of them. It was clear that he wasn't feeling well, but he did everything great, started taking risks and made them. I tried to stay calm, had three break points at the beginning of the second set, and told myself that sooner or later I would achieve it," commented the visibly sad Russian.
