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 Sunday 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 and later won 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.
