This 250 series tournament is played from April 18 to 24, at the same time as the ATP 500 Tournament in Barcelona, however, it does not lag far behind in terms of quality. Belgrade has managed to attract some respectable names, so in addition to the world no.1, Novak Djokovic, Andrej Rublev, the eighth in the world, and Dominic Thiem, the winner of the US Open from 2020, will also perform.

Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov bowed out twice in as many weeks in US tennis tournaments.

Poland's Iga Swiatek swept aside Anett Kontaveit in the Qatar Open final on Feb. 26 and dedicated her victory to "the people who are suffering in Ukraine."

Former French Open champion Swiatek, seeded seven, needed just over an hour to see off the fourth-seeded Estonian.

Although he did not have the opportunity to defend the trophy in Melbourne, which ended in the hands of Rafael Nadal, Djokovic remained at the top.
Daniil Medvedev, who with a potential triumph in the final had the opportunity to win points that would overtake Novak, suffered a defeat and therefore remained in second place.

Victory in the decisive double match was achieved by Karatsev and Rublev over Granollers and Lopez, after a reversal, 4: 6, 6: 2, 6: 4.
With this triumph of Russia, Serbia also found a place among the best eight, as one of the two best second-placed national teams.
Viktor Troicki's team has a better set quotient than Spain - 9-6 versus 9-7.

Grigor Dimitrov was eliminated in the third round of the Masters Series tennis tournament in Cincinnati (USA).

He was defeated by Daniil Medvedev (6-3, 6-3). Medvedev, who is second in the ATP rankings and placed №1 in the scheme, managed to make two serve breaks in each set to overcome his Bulgarian opponent.
