Repeat of the Brussels 2025 final to determine the semifinalist in Dubai.
Two of the top eight seeds will meet in the quarterfinals of the 2026 ATP Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, as Felix Auger-Aliassime battles Jiri Lehecka on Thursday.

The winner of this match will take on either Daniil Medvedev or Jenson Brooksby in the semifinals.
Auger-Aliassime already has one title and one runner-up trophy across four competitions in 2026. While he failed to get past Round-1 at the Australian Open, the 25-year-old has still notched a record of 11-3 so far. Currently ranked No. 8 in the world, FAA is a two-time US Open semifinalist.
