Medvedev in Command in Dubai
Daniil Medvedev has been virtually untouchable in Dubai this week, winning all four of his matches in straight sets and never conceding more than four games in a set. That run included a dominant semifinal victory over last year’s runner-up Felix Auger-Aliassime.
This is the second time he has reached the Dubai final in such commanding fashion, having done the same in 2023 when he swept through the draw without dropping a set and went on to lift the title. That triumph remains his most recent ATP 500 success.
Medvedev is now one win away from securing multiple titles in a season for the first time since 2023. He began 2026 with a title run in Brisbane, where he dropped just one set all week, and now stands on the brink of another trophy.

Resilient Griekspoor Powers Into Dubai Final
Tallon Griekspoor had to battle through physical discomfort in the semifinals, struggling to move freely at times, yet Alexander Bublik was unable to capitalize. The Dutchman showed resilience, saving a couple of set points in the second set before sealing the win in straight sets.
This has been his best week in quite some time, highlighted by three consecutive top-20 victories over Alexander Bublik, Jakub Mensik, and Andrey Rublev to reach his first final since Mallorca last June, where he defeated Corentin Moutet for the title.
Griekspoor has now featured in five tour-level finals in his career, but none have come against a top-20 opponent. With fitness concerns lingering and the level of opposition rising, he faces his toughest title match yet.

Verdict
Medvedev’s level in Dubai has been relentless, and he enters the final with all the momentum on his side. Griekspoor’s physical concerns only widen the gap in what already looks a tough matchup for him. The call is Medvedev to win in straight sets and cover the –3.5 games handicap.
