Humbert Returns To Happy Hunting Ground

Ugo Humbert has had a roller coaster start to 2026, mixing deep runs with early exits the following week, as seen in his first-round loss in Doha.

Still, he has collected eight wins already, including a runner-up finish in Adelaide and a semifinal run in Rotterdam, keeping him stable inside the top 40.

He now returns to a familiar venue in Dubai on fresh legs after the early Doha exit, a factor that should improve his chances of putting together a strong week.

Humbert won the title here on debut in 2024, beating big names along the way before a quieter title defense that ended in a second-round loss last year.

Tsitsipas Returns To A Favourite Stage

Tsitsipas could not capitalize on his big win over Daniil Medvedev in Doha last week, falling in straight sets to Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals.Still, it was a much-needed breakthrough as it marked his first run of back-to-back main draw wins in some time.

With that long drought behind him, it is now important for Tsitsipas to build on the momentum, and Dubai offers the perfect platform given his superb record at this venue. The familiar conditions have often brought out his best tennis.

He has never failed to reach at least the quarterfinals here in his previous four appearances and even played three consecutive finals in 2019, 2020, and 2025, winning the title in 2025.

Ugo Humbert v Stefanos Tsitsipas
