Overview
- Tournament organisers said a medical assessment deemed Tallon Griekspoor unfit after he injured his left hamstring in the semifinal against Andrey Rublev.
- Griekspoor confirmed scans showed a problem and said he will be out for a few weeks, ruling him out of Indian Wells and potentially Miami.
- Daniil Medvedev, who beat Félix Auger-Aliassime in the semifinals after earlier wins over Juncheng Shang, Stan Wawrinka and Jenson Brooksby, said he did not want to win this way and wished Griekspoor a speedy recovery.
- The result ends Medvedev’s run of winning titles at different events, while awarding him 500 ranking points and $461,835; Griekspoor earns 330 points and $248,480.
- On the final day, UAE authorities partially closed airspace and suspended Dubai airport operations during regional missile strikes, the doubles final was completed, and players faced uncertainty over travel to Indian Wells.
