Tennis Dubai 2025 The Final: Match Overview and Player Stats
In the final of the 2025 ATP tournament in Dubai, Stefanos Tsitsipas (Greece) claimed a confident victory over Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime with a score of 6–3, 6–3, showing calm, composed play throughout the match.
The Greek star set the pace from the first serve. While both players hit 4 aces, it was Tsitsipas who proved more consistent and dangerous on serve. He won an impressive 83% of points on his first serve (35 out of 42) and saved all 7 break points he faced — a perfect 100% success rate in defensive situations.
Even though his second serve wasn’t as solid (just 38% of points won), Tsitsipas applied relentless pressure, forcing errors from his opponent at crucial moments. His serving stats were: Serve Rating — 284, 64% first serve accuracy (42 out of 66), 4 double faults, and 9 service games played.
He played to win from the start. He fought like a hero from ancient Greek legends.
Felix Auger-Aliassime: A Worthy Battle
Auger-Aliassime, on the other hand, put up solid numbers on his first serve (71% of points won), but stumbled on his second (only 39%). He committed fewer double faults (2), but managed to save just 3 out of 6 break points — a key factor that tipped the match in Tsitsipas’s favor. His total Serve Rating came in at 243, clearly lower than the Greek’s.
Still, the Canadian delivered a beautiful performance. Stylish, aggressive, and technically sharp — it’s what fans have come to expect from him. Toward the end of the match, he was firing balls like a machine gun, forcing Tsitsipas into wild stretches and near-splits to return the shots.
In his victory interview, Tsitsipas said he was pleasantly surprised by how quickly his opponent, Felix Auger-Aliassime, has progressed in tennis, adding that Felix has become a “great player” and that it had been a wonderful week for both of them.
He also joked that he hopes — “or maybe not” — to face Felix again in future finals, subtly hinting that Auger-Aliassime was a serious opponent, and that next time, he just might come out on top.
