Fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas will face world No. 21 Felix Auger-Aliassime in the final of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships on Saturday.

Tsitsipas defeated Tallon Griekspoor 6-4, 6-4 to book a final spot at the ATP 500 event for the third time. The Greek lost to Roger Federer in the 2019 title decider, and to Novak Djokovic in 2020.  

Auger-Aliassime overcame French qualifier Quentin Halys 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 to reach his third final of the year, and a maiden ATP 500 final on outdoor hard courts.

The Canadian has been in top form so far this season, winning titles in Adelaide and Montpellier.
