Eala Rebounds With Dubai Opener Win
Alexandra Eala bounced back from her Doha exit with a first-round win over Hailey Baptiste in Dubai. She took the opening set before Baptiste retired due to abdominal issues.
This season, she has either reached the quarterfinals or lost in the first round, highlighted by a semifinal in Auckland and quarterfinal runs in Manila and Abu Dhabi.
With significant ranking points to defend in the coming weeks, every win is crucial to ease the pressure and maintain momentum.
She now faces a top-10 opponent in the next round. Eala holds a 2-2 record against top-10 players, pushing both of her losses to deciding sets, underlining her resilience at this level.

Paolini Seeks Response After Early Exits
Jasmine Paolini saw her difficult run continue with a straight-sets loss to Maria Sakkari in the Doha opener. It followed another setback earlier this year against Iva Jovic at the Australian Open.
Since the WTA Finals last season, Paolini has played nine matches and lost six. Two of her three wins came against players ranked outside the top 100, highlighting her recent struggles.
Her ranking has not taken a major hit due to limited points to defend in this stretch. However, repeated early exits can dent confidence, making a strong response crucial.
Paolini has competed in Dubai three times. Apart from her 2024 title run, she exited in the first round in 2023 and the third round last year.
