With Daniil Medvedev short on confidence on the other side, Wawrinka should be well placed to compete strongly here, particularly in the opening set when he is at his freshest.
Medvedev And Wawrinka Bring Title History
- Daniil Medvedev is a former champion at the ATP Dubai event.
- Medvedev holds a strong 4–1 record in second-round matches in Dubai.

- Wawrinka is 1–3 in second-round matches in Dubai.

Dubai Comfort Zone For Medvedev
Daniil Medvedev again handled Juncheng Shang in straight sets, winning 6-1, 6-3 in the Dubai first round, just as he did in Doha last week.
His Doha run ended quickly with a straight-set loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas, and he will be keen to avoid back-to-back second-round exits in the Middle East.
Medvedev owns a strong history in this region and at this venue, having reached at least the quarterfinals in each of the last three Dubai editions and lifting the title in 2023, when he beat every opponent convincingly, including Novak Djokovic in the semifinals.

Encouraging Signs From Wawrinka
Stan Wawrinka may hold a 6–7 record in 2026, but his performances have been encouraging physically, with no retirements or notable drop-offs across his matches.
He moved to 4–0 in opening matches this year after a straight-set win over Benjamin Hassan in the first round in Dubai, marking his return to the event.
Wawrinka’s most recent ATP 500 title came at this venue back in 2016, though his other three appearances here all ended in the first round.
To extend his stay this week, he now faces a top-20 opponent, a level of player he has not beaten since 2024.

Verdict
Stan Wawrinka has looked physically solid throughout the season, holding his level well across matches. With Daniil Medvedev still lacking confidence, Wawrinka has a good chance to cover the handicap and push this into a longer contest. The veteran could even take the opening set while fresh, making the over on total games an appealing angle here.
