The ATP Dubai Tennis Championships have reached the quarterfinals stage, with several top seeds still in contention for the title. Daniil Medvedev, the top seed, has been impressive so far, defeating Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Jan-Lennard Struff in straight sets. He will face Tallon Griekspoor, who upset defending champion Ugo Humbert in three sets. Medvedev's aggressive playing style and consistent serving have made him a favorite to win the tournament.
Stefanos Tsitsipas, the 11th-ranked Greek player, has also been in good form, defeating Lorenzo Sonego and Karen Khachanov in the first two rounds. He will face Matteo Berrettini, who has been playing well in the Middle East, upsetting Novak Djokovic en route to the Doha quarterfinals. Berrettini's varied playing style and ability to adjust to different opponents make him a tough opponent for Tsitsipas.
Other quarterfinal matches include Quentin Halys vs. Luca Nardi, Marin Cilic vs. Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Daniil Medvedev vs. Tallon Griekspoor. Halys has been in good form, winning two matches in Dubai, while Nardi has been struggling with injuries. Cilic, a former world number one, has been rejuvenated in 2025, winning two matches in Dubai, but Auger-Aliassime's explosive power and movement make him a favorite to win.
Here are the predictions for the quarterfinal matches:
- Medvedev vs. Griekspoor: Medvedev in 2
- Halys vs. Nardi: Halys in 2
- Cilic vs. Auger-Aliassime: Auger-Aliassime in 3
- Tsitsipas vs. Berrettini: Berrettini in 3
The tournament has also seen some notable withdrawals and retirements due to a suspected food poisoning epidemic. However, the remaining players are determined to make the most of the opportunity and win the title. With the quarterfinals underway, fans can expect some intense and exciting matches in the next few days.
