We're down to the final of this year's Dubai Tennis Championships – and few people could have predicted this match-up at the start of the tournament.
While it's no great surprise that No.2 seed Andrey Rublev has made it through to the final – beating Hubert Hurkacz in yesterday's semi-final – Czech player Jiri Vesely has defied the odds to reach this stage.
Vesely has beaten four players topped comfortably above him in the world rankings, most notably managing a mightily impressive straight-sets victory over Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals, before battling through an extremely close semi-final with Denis Shapovalov yesterday.
Djokovic will finally be dislodged from his lofty No.1 spot next week regardless of what happens here or in the Mexican Open, running simultaneously this week, with Daniil Medvedev set to assume top spot.
Fans around the world will be tuning in for all the latest coverage of the action out in Dubai as the 2022 season picks up pace.
