Jack Draper of Great Britain takes on Andrey Rublev of Russia in a fascinating championship match at the 2025 Qatar Open. Draper has survived another three-set nailbiter to secure his second ATP 500 event final appearance. With his hip injury no longer an issue, the Brit climbed from a 0-1 set hole to complete a comeback win over Jiri Lehecka, the player who upset No.1 seed Carlos Alcaraz, in their action-packed semifinal affair 3-6 7-6(2) 6-3 on Friday. Draper fired 14 aces and won 44 points on his first serves, which made all the difference in their match. Rublev also advanced to his first championship this year after staving off Felix Auger-Aliassime in another three-set thriller. Fresh off a confidence-boosting win over Alex De Minaur, Rublev collected 61 points off his first serves and conceded only one service break in the entire match. With the game hanging in the balance in the third set tiebreaker, the Russian seized a key break point conversions for the third point and exhibited nerves of steels in holding all his remaining serves.
