ATP Tour – Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships Day 3: Upsets and Big Name Progress

Posted : 25 February 2026

The ATP 500 action at the 2026 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships heated up on Day 3 as several marquee players took to the hard courts of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium. The second round of competition saw a mix of expected victories and notable upsets as the tournament moved closer to the quarterfinals.

Dutch player Tallon Griekspoor delivered one of the day’s most impressive results by upsetting second seed Alexander Bublik in straight sets, 6‑3, 7‑6(4). After years of challenging his higher‑ranked rival without success, Griekspoor finally snapped his losing streak and secured a place in the quarterfinals with aggressive returning and clutch play in the tiebreak.

World No. 11 Daniil Medvedev also advanced with a convincing win over Swiss veteran Stan Wawrinka, defeating him 6‑2, 6‑3 to book his quarterfinal spot. Medvedev’s performance showcased his strong baseline game and control on the quick Dubai hard courts, maintaining pressure from the outset before sealing the victory in straight sets.

Felix Auger‑Aliassime continued his steady progress in the tournament with a solid straight‑sets triumph, demonstrating consistency in his serving and court coverage. Meanwhile, Andrey Rublev secured a hard‑fought three‑set victory to join the growing list of seeds advancing deep into the draw.

Elsewhere on Day 3, Jack Draper’s campaign came to an end following a tough three‑set battle, with the Brit unable to overcome his opponent in a closely contested match. Despite the loss, Draper’s performance highlighted the competitive depth present throughout the ATP 500 field.

With quarterfinal places beginning to take shape, the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships promise further high‑quality tennis and potential surprises as the week unfolds.
