2021 ATP Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships Draw with Thiem, Rublev

We'll see some of the biggest stars of men's tennis at the 2021 ATP Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships which will run from March 14th - 20th.

Dominic Thiem will be the top seed in Dubai with Andrey Rublev being no. 2. The Russian is currently on a 4-tournament winning streak at the ATP 500 events and he will try to extend it also in Dubai. He will play Jordan Thompson or a qualifier in the second round of the 2021 ATP Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships as Taylor Fritz or Nikoloz Basilashvili might be his 3rd round opponents.

With absence of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka, there's a very high chance that we'll see a new champion in Dubai. These 4 have won the title in Dubai 15 times during the last 18 tournaments. With Roger Federer winning the title 8 times and Novak Djokovic 5 times. The only 3 other champions were Rafael Nadal, Andy Roddick and Roberto Bautista Agut.

And it will be the Spaniard who will be the only former champion in the draw of the 2021 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. He will face Matthew Ebden in the second round as the fourth-seeded player in Dubai. Some interesting first-round matchups include Kei Nishikori vs. Reilly Opelka, Aslan Karatsev who will take on Egor Gerasimov and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga who will meet Malek Jaziri.
