Gauff Ends Middle East Slump With Dubai Win
Coco Gauff defeated Anna Kalinskaya 6-4, 6-4 to reach the third round in Dubai. She was broken four times but converted six breaks of her own to seal the win.
The victory snapped her four-match losing streak in Middle East events and marked her first win in the region since her 2024 Dubai quarterfinal run.
Last season, Gauff reached eight quarterfinals, five at WTA 1000 level, though none came before the clay swing. She now has a chance to change that this week.
In five previous Dubai appearances, she has made the quarterfinals three times, most recently in 2024 with wins over Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Karolina Pliskova before falling in the last eight.
