Marin Cilic vs Alex De Minaur Prediction & Picks - ATP Dubai Open
by Lou Aguila | in Tennis Picks
Alex De Minaur looks to shake off a disappointing run at the Qatar Open by gunning for no less than a rousing win over former US Open champion Marin Cilic in the first round of the Dubai Tennis Championships on Tuesday. After placing runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz in Rotterdam, De Minaur got botted out by a resurging Andrey Rublev in a thrilling three-set quarterfinal showdown 6-1 3-6 7-6(8) in Qatar. De Minaur climbed back from a set down to level the score at 1-1 sets, but he could not finish the job as Rublev scored the big points down the stretch in the tiebreaker to escape an absolute nailbiter. Cilic opened his 2025 campaign with a 6-4, 6-4 loss to Carlos Alcaraz in the first round of the Qatar Open. The former US Open winner skipped the Australian Open and several tournaments to give his body time to recover from injuries he suffered last season.
