DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Andrey Rublev won his second singles title in less than a week — and 10th overall — when he beat Czech qualifier Jiri Vesely 6-3, 6-4 in the final of the Dubai Championships on Saturday.

The world No. 7 won the Open 13 tournament last Sunday in Marseille, and also captured the doubles title with Ukrainian partner Denys Molchanov.

Vesely knocked out Novak Djokovic in his Dubai quarterfinal and reached the final by outlasting Denis Shapovalov in a three-hour battle on Friday.

"Both of us were super tired," Rublev said in his on-court interview. "I didn't expect this because I didn't have time to adapt. It's an amazing feeling. I feel super happy."

On Friday, Rublev wrote "No War Please" on a TV camera moments after beating Poland's Hubert Hurkacz in their semifinal.
