Fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas faces the unseeded Lorenzo Sonego as he begins another campaign at the Dubai Tennis Championship. They will battle in the first round with the winner playing Daniel Evans or Karen Khachanov for a quarter-final berth. Below is our prediction for this match. 

Stefanos Tsitsipas is having an unimpressive season so far and through seven matches, has managed just three wins. Currently, on a two-match skid, Tsitsipas has lost in the first round in two of three Singles events. 

The Greek number one was defeated in the first round in Doha in his most recent outing. The world number 11 is a two-time Dubai finalist and has never lost against Sonego. 

Lorenzo Sonego is having a better season than Tsitsipas. Though a bit inconsistent, he has won seven of 12 matches. 

The Italian, who has a quarter-final finish at the Australian Open as his highlight of the campaign, is making a fourth appearance in Dubai. He made the last eight in 2023 but was eliminated in the second round last season. 

Sonego is ending an almost two-week break since his last outing which was in the quarter-finals in Montpellier. He has moved up to 34th in the live ranking.
