Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Stefanos Tsitsipas prediction
Auger-Aliassime has had a remarkable season so far. He has already won two titles this year, in Adelaide and Montpellier. The Canadian has been consistent with his serves, averaging more than 11 aces per match in 2025.
Tsitsipas had registered just two wins prior to his campaign in Dubai. However, the Greek seems to have regained his form on the hardcourts of the Aviation Club Tennis Centre. He has registered an impressive average first-serve win percentage of 83.25% this week.
Tsitsipas could pose some issues with his serve, court coverage, and aggressive playing style. However, under current circumstances, Auger-Aliassime is expected to come out on top. He has been especially impressive during pressure points, which could be crucial in a high-stakes final match.
Pick: Auger-Aliassime to win in three sets.
