DUBAI - Stefanos Tsitsipas began the Dubai Championships with a 7-6 , 6-1 victory over Pablo Carreno Busta on Tuesday just two days after winning the Marseille title.

"I tried to stay calm and not complain too much because I would definitely need that energy for later on. I think I focused on my breathing, constructing the points, staying in the point, trying to make things happen from my backhand side." Tsitsipas, the losing finalist here a year ago to Roger Federer, will next play Alexander Bublik after the Kazakh beat Poland's Hubert Hurkacz 6-2, 7-5.

Eighth seed Paire appeared all but finished as Croatian Cilic, leading 5-3 in the second set after taking the first, served for a straight sets win."Normally when it's one set, 5-3, I normally tank," Paire said."This time I tried until the end. It was working good. I'm really happy about the win."
