Andrey Rublev won the title at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open for the second time on Saturday, defeating Great Britain's Jack Draper 7-5, 5-7, 6-1 in Doha.
The fifth-seeded Russian hit 34 winners, including 10 aces, in winning his 17th ATP Tour title but his first since last May at the ATP Masters 1000 in Madrid. He also won the crown in Doha in 2020.
Rublev won 78.9 percent (45 of 57) of points on his first serve and saved two of three break opportunities in the hardcourt match.
Draper, who was seeking his third ATP Tour title, will rise to a career high No. 12 when the new rankings are released Monday. Rublev will slot in at No. 9.
