THE PREDICTION
World number six Andrey Rublev is the defending champion here in Dubai and he started with a solid win over Filip Krajinovic on Monday. The 25-year-old went down two breaks early in the match before taking 11 of the next 13 games in a brilliant turnaround that suggests he is ready to make amends for early exits in Rotterdam and Doha in the last few weeks. World number 29 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina conceded just two games to Malek Jaziri on Monday but the Spaniard has struggled against the top players this season. Competitive recent defeats to Felix Auger-Aliassime and Daniil Medvedev suggest three sets could be a factor here but Rublev was the winner of their previous encounter, and on the Spaniard’s favoured clay, at Roland-Garros back in 2020 and the Russian should benefit from the conditions in Dubai. Back Rublev to win outright.
