Recall that in the semi-final Rublev was disqualified after an incident with the referee during a match with the representative of Kazakhstan Alexander Bublik. However, the disqualification only affected that match and not the entire tournament. Thus, Rublev received 200 points and $157,755 in prize money, while retaining his fifth place in the ATP rankings.
The winner of the ATP-500 tournament in Dubai was the French tennis player Hugo Humbert, who defeated Bublik in the final with a score of 6:4, 6:3.
