Medvedev – Mpetshi Perricard, 9:30 p.m., February 26, Round 2 of Dubai
Medvedev is having a pretty smooth performance in Round 2 of the Dubai Tennis Championship. The Russian player convincingly defeated Struff in the opening match and is determined to beat Perricard again in the next match.
Perricard has caused some surprises against players from the top 11 to the top 20 in the world in 2024. However, he has no experience facing the “sharks” in the top 10. Therefore, Perricard is expected to face many challenges against Medvedev in the next match.
Medvedev is currently determined to conquer the Dubai tennis tournament. The reason is that from the beginning of 2024 until now, the Russian tennis star has not won any titles.
Medvedev has never met Perricard. But with the spirit of the world’s No. 6 tennis player, Medvedev is expected to not have much difficulty defeating Perricard, thereby passing the second round of the Dubai tournament.
Tsitsipas – Khachanov, 11pm, February 26, second round of the Dubai tournament
