Popyrin is Khabib. Prediction for the ATP Dubai match
Popyrin and Khabib will meet in the first round of the Dubai tournament on February 24. Popyrin is in bad shape now. He has not won a single victory in the new season so far. Will Alexey be able to break a five-match losing streak in Dubai? - the bets for this match are in our forecast.

Command Analysis

Alexei Popyrin

Current form
Popyrin has not won a single victory in the new season so far. Alexey left the competitions in Brisbane, Rotterdam and Doha, as well as the Australian Open following the results of the opening matches. Last week in Doha, he lost in the first round to Jack Draper.
Professional qualities
Popyrin feels confident on any surface - he feels equally good on both hard and clay courts. Over the past year, the Australian has significantly improved his serve - it has become more stable and accurate. There is also noticeable progress in Alexey's game in the balance between attacking and defensive actions.
Current indicators in the tour
Popyrin is still in the top 30 of the world ranking - he is in 27th position. During his career, the Australian tennis player has won six titles, three of which are in the ATP category. Last season, Alexey won the competition held in Montreal.
Interesting facts for betting
Popyrin's losing streak totals five matches.

Hady Habib

Current form
Khabib announced himself at the Australian Open this season, during which he managed to reach the second round from qualifying. Hadi competed in Doha last week, where he lost to Christopher O'Connell in the first round on two tie-breaks. Khabib has six wins and four losses this season.
Professional qualities
Khabib's main trump cards are a powerful first serve and an aggressive forehand. However, his lack of experience playing against top opponents, as well as his unstable backhand, prevent him from rising higher in the world rankings. Nevertheless, Hadi is now actively gaining experience and is trying to appear at major tournaments as often as possible.
Current indicators in the tour
Last season, Khabib won the challenger in Temuco, Chile. It was his 11th career title. Hadi is currently ranked 166th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Khabib lost the last two matches, in which he was a clear outsider.

2.31Tip and bets
There is no doubt that Khabib can make the main sensation of the first round in Dubai in the upcoming match. Hadi is slowly gaining experience playing in major tournaments. This season, he already has wins over the stalwarts Tsen and Yongchaokete, as well as a three-set match against Umber. We believe that Khabib is quite capable of outplaying the unstable Popyrin in the upcoming meeting.
Our forecast is for Khabib to win by a factor of 3.85
Bet on the total
We expect the fight to be protracted. Popyrin definitely doesn't pull into the role of the clear favorite of the match right now, so Khabib will have chances to win at least one set from the Australian.
