DUBAI/STARNBERG, February 26, 2025

Stefanos Tsitsipas secured his 350th tour-level victory on Wednesday at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, battling past Karen Khachanov 7-6(4), 2-6, 6-4 to reach the quarterfinals.

Currently ranked No. 11 in the ATP Rankings, Tsitsipas has fond memories of Dubai, where he was a finalist in 2019 and 2020. Returning to the ATP 500 event for the first time in five years, the Greek star opened his campaign with a win over Lorenzo Sonego before showing resilience against Khachanov, extending his dominant head-to-head record over the Russian to 9-1.

Berrettini fired 15 aces and did not face a break point, securing his second quarter-final of the season after reaching the last eight in Doha last week.

Elsewhere, Italian lucky loser Luca Nardi edged past Zizou Bergs 6-4, 7-6(3), while Frenchman Quentin Halys upset former Dubai champion Roberto Bautista Agut 7-6(5), 6-4 to move into the quarterfinals.
