Auger-Alliassim - Cilic. Prediction for the ATP Dubai match
Auger-Alliassim and Cilic will meet in the quarterfinals of the Dubai tournament on February 27. Cilic is already 36 years old. The Croat's physical condition is not what it used to be. The three-set matches against De Minaur and Popyrin should have exhausted the Croat. Does he still have the strength for the match against Auger-Alliassim? - the bets for this match are in our betting tip

Command Analysis

Felix Auger Aliassime

Current form
Auger-Aliassim scored a strong-willed victory over Nuno Borges (4-6, 6-3, 7-5) in the second round of the Dubai competition. During the match, the Canadian tennis player made nine aces, made three break points and lost two games on his serve. Felix beat Alexander Bublik in the first round.
Professional qualities
Auger-Alliassim is a bit limited in versatility, although last year he unexpectedly showed decent results on the ground. This was made possible by the fact that the Canadian improved his movement on the court and worked on his problematic backhand. These changes are more noticeable on slow surfaces.
Current indicators in the tour
Auger-Alliassim currently occupies the 21st place in the world ranking. This season has already brought the Canadian tennis player two trophies - he won in Adelaide and Montpellier. In total, Felix has won seven ATP titles in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Auger-Alliassim has scored eight victories in the last ten matches.

Marin Cilic

Current form
Cilic defeated Alexei Popyrin in the second round of the Dubai tournament (5-7, 6-3, 6-4). In a duel against the Australian, Marin made six aces, made two break points and lost one game on his serve. In the first round, the Croat passed Alex De Minaur.
Professional qualities
Cilic still focuses on a powerful serve and a strong forehand in his game. However, now the Croatian veteran's physical condition often does not allow him to play at a high level for several matches in a row. Age, of course, takes its toll - it has become much more difficult for Marin to recover from protracted fights.
Current indicators in the tour
Cilic is a former world number three. Due to numerous injuries, Marin is currently ranked 187th. During his career, the Croatian veteran has won 21 ATP titles, the last of which he won last season on the courts of Hangzhou.
Interesting facts for betting
Both duels on the courts of Dubai with the participation of Cilic turned out to be horseback riding.

1.86Tip and bets
There are doubts that Cilic, at the age of 36, will have time to fully recover after two protracted matches - the duel lasted three sets against both De Minaur and Popyrin. We do not think that the Croat will be one hundred percent ready for the match with Auger-Alliassim.
Our prediction is that Auger-Alliassim will win with a handicap of (-3) games for a coefficient of 1.96

We expect that the tired Cilic simply will not have enough strength for another representative of the top 30 of the world ranking. It seems to us that the upcoming match will end in two games.
The second betting tip is a total of less than 23 games for a coefficient of 1.88
Bet on the first set
In three of Cilic's last five matches, more than 9.5 games were played in the first set. We believe that the upcoming match against Auger-Alliassim will also begin with the riding of the first game.
The betting tip is a total of more than 9.5 games in the first set for a coefficient of 1.61
