In the second round match in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on hard court between Jakub Menšík and Alexei Popyrin, Menšík appears to be the favorite to win. The Czech player started the season successfully, winning the tournament in Auckland and reaching the semifinals in Doha, defeating Sinner along the way. On the other hand, Popyrin has not shown strong performances this season and has already lost twice to Menšík. Therefore, based on current form and results, Menšík has a good chance of winning.
