Dubai Tennis Championships, Federer vs Kohlschreiber: Preview and live stream details

The Dubai Tennis championships for the men is going to be held from February 25 to March 2 at the Aviation Club Tennis Centre in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This tournament is expecting a huge crowd with a lot of electrifying matches, considering the heavily stacked draw.

While Roger Federer is the favorite to win the tournament despite an early exit at the 2019 Australian Open, he does have a tricky first round encounter against German player Philipp Kohlschreiber.

If Federer wins in Dubai this year, it will give him his eighth title at this prestigious event and also his 100th career title overall.

For Kohlschreiber to challenge Federer, he would need to attack the Swiss very early in the rallies so as to get an advantageous court positioning. Considering Federer's recent patchy form, this may be Kohlschreiber's best chance of getting a win against him in 14 attempts.

While the head to head record favors the Swiss maestro, this match could still be a difficult encounter as Kohlschreiber comes in with vast experience under his belt. The German is known for his vast repertoire of shots, and if he can get a good rhythm going on his backhand in particular, he could certainly trouble the 20-time Slam champion.
