Aug 27, 2024; Flushing, NY, USA; Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE) hits a forehand against Thanasi Kokkinakis (AUS)(not pictured) in a men's singles match on day two of the 2024 U.S. Open tennis tournament at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Fourth-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas saved all seven break points he faced while cruising to a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime on Saturday to win the Dubai Tennis Championships.
Tsitsipas won 83.3 percent (35 of 42) of his first-serve points to knock off Auger-Aliassime in 88 minutes. The Greek won the final four games of the first set then the final three games of the second set.
Auger-Aliassime won 70.6 percent (24 of 34) of his first-serve points, but his failure to convert a break point hurt. He was looking for his third title of this year and eighth of his career.
