Seventh seed Elina Svitolina and third seed Cori Gauff will face off in the semi-finals of the Dubai Tennis Championship. This is their second meeting of the season and seventh overall. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Elina Svitolina defeated Gauff in straight sets last month at the Australian Open to tie this series at 2-2. It was the second time she had defeated Gauff in Melbourne.
As one of the WTA’s top performers this season, the Ukrainian will be confident of another victory. Svitolina, who returned to the top 10 earlier in the season due to her strong form, has won 14 of 16 matches.
The world number nine, a two-time former Dubai champion, defeated Antonia Ruzic in three sets in the quarters. This year’s Auckland champion, Svitolina, is looking to advance to her 24th tour final.
Cori Gauff had a more assured performance in the last round, defeating Alexandra Eala in straight sets. The American lost just two games to Eala as she claimed her 10th win in 13 outings this season.
Gauff has now equaled her best-ever result in Dubai by making it to the last four. The 21-year-old is a three-time WTA 1000 champion and has contested 14 tour finals so far in her career.
