On February 18, the second circle match in the tournament in Dubai will be held by Elina Svitolina (WTA 24) and Clara Tauson (WTA 38). The match is scheduled for 12:00 Kyiv time.
Elina Svitolina
Dubai Ukrainian played in three tournaments, the best result was a quarterfinals at the Australian Major. After that, Svitolina lost two matches of three in Linza and still.
In Dubai, Elina began confidently, having defeated the 19th racket of the world of “neutral” Anna Kalinskaya-6: 1, 6: 2, which should be expected, because Kalinskaya was probably still under the impression of disqualification of her boyfriend Jannik Sinner.
The Ukrainian shows a solid tennis level, although there is still no desired stability. When Svitolina is in shape, she is ready to win prestigious tournaments, but the goal of winning the Major has not obeyed the athlete.

The Danishka gave a brilliant start of the season, won the tournament in Auckland, and then reached the third circle at the open championship of Australia, where she gave way to the fierce struggle of the first racket of the world, Arini Sobolenko.
Tauson also spoke in the tournament in Linza, there she reached the semifinals, where she lost to another Ukrainians Diana Yastremskaya. A trip to the Doha came unsuccessful, in the first match against Eliza Mertens Tennis player gave the first set 0: 6, and the second did not work out.
In Dubai, Clara began with a victory over Slovakia Rebecca Shramykova – 7: 6, 6: 0. The first set turned out to be difficult for Tauson, because on Tai Breika she was second to 3: 6, but eventually played 4 Setbols, escaping the victory in the party. Clara is able to show a high -level tennis, but in her last meetings her magic has disappeared.
