Otto Virtanen vs Tallon Griekspoor prediction
Tallon Griekspoor appears to be on the up after a rough start to the year.
The Dutchman has posted back-to-back quarter final appearances after ending a six-match losing sequence that stretched back into last season.
First up in Dubai, the world number 25 faces underdog Otto Virtanen.
The Finn has made a strong start to 2026, winning plenty of matches but they have mainly been at a lower tier and in the Davis Cup.
The world number 128 can play some fine tennis when on-song, but if Grieki serves big and gets the fizzing forehand into play regularly he should have too much firepower and maintain his recent improvement.
Otto Virtanen vs Tallon Griekspoor tip: Tallon Grieskpoor to win
