Ruzic Reaches Maiden WTA 1000 Quarterfinal
Antonia Ruzic reached her first WTA 1000 quarterfinal after Elena Rybakina retired in the deciding set of their third-round clash in Dubai. It marked her maiden win over a top-20 opponent.
With this run, she matched the best result by a lucky loser at a WTA 1000 event. Remarkably, she has won all four of her matches this week in three sets, underlining her resilience.
Ruzic had previously played three tour-level quarterfinals, winning the Hobart title recently but losing the other two in Monterrey 2025 and Monastir 2024.
Ranked outside the top 150 at the end of January 2025, this Dubai breakthrough has lifted her close to a top-50 debut in the live rankings.

Svitolina Rekindles Dubai Magic
Elina Svitolina followed her opening retirement win over Paula Badosa with a 4-6, 6-1, 6-3 comeback against Belinda Bencic to reach the Dubai quarterfinals.
The Ukrainian has enjoyed a strong start to the season, winning the Auckland title, reaching the Australian Open semifinals, and now making another deep run in Dubai.
This is her first Dubai quarterfinal since 2019. She has played four quarterfinals here and won all of them, going on to lift the titles in 2017 and 2018 and reach the semifinals in 2016 and 2019.
Last year, she reached four WTA 1000 quarterfinals but converted only one, in Madrid. Her last hard-court WTA 1000 semifinal came in Miami in 2021.

Verdict
Antonia Ruzic showed tremendous resilience, especially in securing her first top-20 win against Elena Rybakina, which will boost her confidence further. However, matching the quality of an in-form Elina Svitolina, who is currently playing at a very high level, could prove a step too far in this clash.
