Felix Auger-Aliassime is making waves at another ATP 500 event. He plays in the quarterfinal of the Dubai Open against Marin Cilic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> The Canadian is having an incredible year and that should continue against the Croatian veteran. Auger-Aliassime -1.5 sets is my best bet for this quarterfinal match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet: Auger-Aliassime -1.5 sets (+110)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we look at this match at a base level, Auger-Aliassime is the better player. He’s ranked No. 21 in the world, while Cilic is No. 186.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadian is cooking, too, winning multiple titles in 2025 and posting a 14-4 record. That includes a 3-1 record against ATP top-10 players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cilic is 2-1 this year, and the 36-year-old has now logged over four-and-a-half hours of court time in this tournament. He’s 3-7 in his last 10 matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auger-Aliassime has played a lot of tennis, but he’s in top form and has the tools to beat the less active veteran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These two haven’t played each other since 2022. The Canadian was 21 years old at the time and won that matchup in five sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auger-Aliassime continues to be a menace with his serve, recording 19 aces and holding 91% of his service points (30-of-33) at this tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cilic is good at breaking serves, doing so six times through the first two matches, but that’ll be a lot more difficult in this matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Both ATP events won by Auger-Aliassime were played on hard courts, where he has a 10-3 record in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
