Sixth seed Jasmine Paolini is back in Dubai, where she will be hoping to spark a season turnaround. She will begin her tournament in the second round against the unseeded Alexandra Eala. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Alexandra Eala defeated lucky loser Hailey Baptiste in the first round. She won the first set 6-4 before Baptiste pulled out of the tie early in the second set while ahead 1-0. Eala is now up six places in the live ranking to number 41.
The Filipino star has now won eight matches in 2026, with her season highlight being a run to the semi-finals in Auckland.
Eala has won twice against top 10 players, with both wins coming in an exciting run to the semi-finals at last year’s Miami Open.
Jasmine Paolini is having a disappointing season. She has won just three of six fixtures and is currently on a two-match skid. Arriving in Dubai, though, will have her a bit assured of a positive stretch of matches.
Paolini, the world number eight, is a former Dubai champion. She achieved this feat two seasons ago, the first of two WTA 1000 titles. Last year, though, Paolini had a poor title defence as she was eliminated in the third round.

Our Alexandra Eala vs Jasmine Paolini Prediction
Our prediction for Alexandra Eala v Jasmine Paolini is for the exact score: 1-2. Paolini is having a slow season and has lost the same number of matches as she has won. Having lost back-to-back matches, we still have her as our choice to win.
This is because she is back at an event where she has been crowned champion before. Victory for the Italian will not come easily, though, as Eala is a strong hard-court performer and has a favorable record against top 10 players.
