Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas is set to face Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime in the final of the 2025 Dubai Tennis Championships, where Tsitsipas is looking to claim his third title of the year. This match will mark the tenth meeting between the two players on the ATP Tour, with Tsitsipas holding a 6-3 advantage in their head-to-head record. Since 2020, Tsitsipas has generally been the dominant force in their encounters, although both players have claimed a victory in one of their prior final matchups.





For Tsitsipas, this match is not only about winning the prestigious Dubai title, but it also has significant implications for his ranking. If he manages to defeat Auger-Aliassime in the final, he will re-enter the ATP Top 10 rankings, a position he has not held since June of the previous year. This would be a major achievement for Tsitsipas, who has been working hard to regain his position among the world’s top players.

Tsitsipas, who is currently ranked 11th in the world, reached the final by overcoming Dutch player Tallon Griekspoor, who is ranked 47th. The Greek player displayed strong form, defeating Griekspoor in straight sets with a convincing score of 6-4, 6-4. This victory marks his first appearance in the Dubai Tennis Championships since 2020, and he will be hoping to make the most of his opportunity to win the title once again.

On the other side of the court, Auger-Aliassime has also been in fine form during the tournament. The Canadian, who has been steadily climbing the rankings, reached the final by defeating Frenchman Quentin Halys, ranked 77th in the world. Auger-Aliassime battled through a tough opening set, eventually coming through with a 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 victory. This win marked his second triumph over Halys in just two weeks, showcasing his consistency and determination on the court.

The upcoming final promises to be an exciting and high-level match between two of the ATP’s most talented young players, both of whom are looking to add another title to their impressive resumes.
