Fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas will battle unseeded Felix Auger-Aliassime for the Dubai Championship title. This is the third time they are facing off in the championship match of a tour event. Below is our prediction for this match.

Tsitsipas will contest a championship match in Dubai for the third time. He lost the earlier two. The world number 11 is having his best week this season.

Before arriving in Dubai, the 26-year-old hadn't progressed past the quarter-finals at an event and had lost twice in the opening round. To advance to the final, the 11-time tour champion defeated Tallon Griekspoor in straight sets.

Tsitsipas has won six of nine meetings with Auger-Aliassime, with one of those victories granting him the 2020 Marseille title.

Felix Auger-Aliassime has been on the receiving end for most of his matchups with Tsitsipas. However, he too has been able to win a tour final in this fixture.

The Canadian won the most recent final against Tsitsipas in Rotterdam in 2022. And with his excellent form this season, he will be confident of claiming another crown.

Auger-Aliassime has won 16 times in 20 outings this season, leading to two titles in Montpellier and Adelaide. Advancing to his third final of the season has allowed him to move back into the ATP top 20.

The 24-year-old, who defeated Quentin Halys in the semi-finals, is now placed 18th in the live ranking.
