Russia's Andrey Rublev has defeated Czech qualifier Jiri Vesely to win the final of the ATP Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.

The 24-year old won his second straight ATP 500 series title after overcoming Vesley 6-3 6-4 at the Aviation Club Tennis Centre on Saturday.

Rublev had entered the Dubai tournament on the back of a title-winning campaign at the Open 13 championship in Marseille, France, last week.
