Tsitsipas and Medvedev headline Dubai Open
Gulf Today
|January 20, 2026
Men's Week at the 2026 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships returns from February 23-28 with a standout ATP 500 roster led by defending champion Stefanos Tsitsipas, World No7 Felix Auger-Aliassime, and former winners Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev.
-
Greek star Tsitsipas, who lifted the trophy in 2025 after a commanding run capped by victory over Auger-Aliassime in the final, will be determined to defend his crown at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium.
The title in Dubai was a standout moment of the two-time Grand Slam finalist’s 2025 season, reaffirming his strength on hard courts and an ability to elevate his game at key moments.
World No7 Auger-Aliassime arrives in Dubai following one of the strongest seasons of his career to date. The Canadian secured three ATP Tour titles in 2025 - in Adelaide, Montpellier and Brussels - and delivered a semifinal run at the US Open.
His journey to last year’s Dubai final further reinforces his credentials and positions him as a major contender for the 2026 title.
