ATP Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships Prize Money Explained: How much can Felix Auger-Aliassime, Alexander Bublik and Jack Draper earn
ATPThursday, 19 February 2026 at 07:00
The Middle East swing is set to come to a close for another year, but before that happens the ATP Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships needs to be played out with some lucrative prizes on the end for the tennis players competing to get their hands on.
It may not be as stacked in terms of top 10 players as some other events but the class is still there with two title winners in 2026 stepping up to the court as favourites. Felix Auger-Aliassime endured a hugely disappointing Australian Open after retiring in his opening match despite so much promise with an upturn in form. He replied emphatically with a title at the Open Occitanie. He followed it up with a final defeat in the ABN AMRO Open against Alex de Minaur but the signs are there that he is set to continue to be a force to be reckoned with.
The same can be said for Alexander Bublik who is now a regular among the top 10 in the world. He earned that place outright with a number of titles collected over the past 12 months, with the most recent coming in the Hong Kong Open at the start of the year. His incredible rise looks set to continue as he eyes up glory in Dubai.
Jack Draper looks like he is finally going to return to the ATP Tour. Delayed comebacks due to an arm injury saw him miss events in Rotterdam and Qatar but by the looks of it he will be challenging the best players in the world again as the former world number four looks to rise up the ranks to where he was when he was sidelined.
The fourth and fifth seed are a pair of Czechs competing in the Qatar Open. Jakub Mensik and Jiri Lehecka will hope to continue the positive momentum created in Doha and beforehand in 2026 to battle it out deep in this tournament. The same can also be said for Tomas Machac who boosts Czech Republic's hopes in the UAE.
Denis Shapovalov makes the trip from the United States after reaching the Dallas Open semi-final. While it was a failed title defence, a last-four showing is positive signs from the Canadian. Tallon Griekspoor is the final seed locked into the field. A brace of Frenchman follow in the form of Arthur Rinderknech and Ugo Humbert before we get to the defending champion.
Stefanos Tsitsipas is set to lose out on a bunch of ranking points after his success last year. A drop down the rankings is becoming a huge possibility if he is not able to gain back his hard-earned ranking points.

- You seem to have 'lost the plot' ??
- This needs to be done, and I think Jessica Pegula is an excellent choice for chair to look into the situation. However, a very brief look at the other members of the panel would suggest a very USA heavy contingent. The group needs to represent all interests, not just turn it into a way the US can screw more money out of an already biased calendar.
- The tennis world should be kissing her feet for taking-on this long needed position in a much needed council. The WTA and ATP need a good shaking-up. Pegula's business heritage is a proven one. Let's hope she and her colleagues can stop WTA & ATP from shutting their work down and out. GO GET 'EM !!
- So the Sportswasher's largest market is... the Filipino community? That's all well and good but the hundreds and hundreds of empty seats throughout is embarrassing. Talk about bad optics!
- The poor Head Sportswasher has been whining and crying in the media, and basically threatening Saba, Iga, etc. Must be a real Ego Buster when they dangle money and people (especially Women) say, 'No thanks'.
- "Losing-itis" is not uncommon in Emma's small world. Just keeps begging the question, 'What are sponsors paying for? Limited tennis appearances... or Social Selfie Media presence?'
- Dubai can suck it up like everyone else. Just because they think they run the show, they do not. Sportswashing does not give them Power.
- You're losing your mind here.. You use a lot of space, yet inadequate knowledge. Read the WTA Rule Book 2026; it answers all your questions and accusations.
- Why single out Iga and Aryna to punish?, Since when do players get punish because they withdraw from tournaments? Maybe if they both were treated like number one and two players, they would not have this problem. The WTA discriminates against them because of their nationalities, yet they want to make money off them. Every tournament, Iga has harder draws than qualifiers from the beginning to the end. In the Australian Open they stuck Aryna out in the sun the majority of her matches in order to tire her out. She is the number one player in the world and she never got the opportunity to play with the roof closed. If they want these top players to continue playing and making money for them, then they should treat them as such. Otherwise, get the players who they are always giving out cupcake draws to like Pegula to play their tournaments. Lets see how many seats in the audience she will fill. Iga has more fans in the seats than any player in the WTA, yet she is always disrespected and mistreated because of her nationality. The WTA is a corrupt, bias and racist organization. No matter what job someone is on, you cannot tell them that they are not sick or injured.
- LOL. Billie Jean King hates being a woman.
