If Djokovic rested for almost a month before Dubai, then Medvedev has been playing non-stop for the third week.
In February, Daniil took titles at tournaments in Rotterdam and Doha. The winning streak of the Russian after an early departure at the Australian Open has 12 matches.
In Dubai, Medvedev consistently defeated Italian Matteo Arnaldi (6:4, 6:2), Alexander Bublik from Kazakhstan (6:4, 6:2) and Croat Borna Coric (6:3, 6:2).
