Gauff Finds Form at the Right Time in Dubai
Coco Gauff stormed into the semifinals with a dominant 6-0, 6-2 win over Alexandra Eala, just a round after her grueling three-set battle with Elise Mertens. It is her first semifinal of the year and second in Dubai.
She began the Middle East swing with a loss to Elisabetta Cocciaretto and struggled with 16 double faults and saved match points against Mertens, making this rebound especially satisfying.
Sixteen of her last 18 semifinals have come at WTA 1000 or higher-level events, underlining her consistency on the big stage and explaining her long-standing presence in the top five.
Coco Gauff heads into this clash having won five of her last six semifinals on tour, all of them coming at WTA 1000 or higher-level events, highlighting her consistency on the biggest stages.

Verdict
Coco Gauff boasts an impressive record in high-profile events, but her focus and overall level have been slightly unconvincing so far. Meanwhile, Elina Svitolina is playing some of her best tennis, recently breaking back into the top 10, and with her outstanding current form, she enters this matchup as the deserved favourite.
