Jannik Sinner last played at the Open 13 where he was defeated in the quarterfinals by the eventual champion, Daniil Medvedev. The Italian has not had the best few weeks on tour, as he was also knocked out in the first round of the Open Sud de France by Aljaz Bedene. He will hope to have a much better performance in Dubai this week.

The second round clash between the two players is expected to be a close encounter and can go either way. Sinner has an aggressive style of play and can outplay his opponent on a given day. Bublik can prove to be a huge giant killer on his day, given the fact that he defeated Alexander Zverev just a few days ago in Rotterdam. However, Sinner is expected to emerge victorious on Tuesday as the Italian has played consistent tennis over the past few months and more often than not, is capable of producing his best tennis.

Match Prediction: Jannik Sinner to defeat Alexander Bublik in three sets
