Muga looked injured today.

Not really,she looked out of puff, due to Ash moving her and also her slice,Ash played really well and deserved her win.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sabalenka is the first player through to the final defeating Kuznetsova 64 63...since Sabalenka reunited with coach Tursunov in Dubai her tennis has improved,well done making the final.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Their matches usually have a habit of going 3 sets,1 set all between Ash Barty and Petra Kvitova.....Petra won the 1st set 64 and Ash the 2nd set 62.....now playing a decider for the final.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

In a high quality match Petra Kvitova defeats Ash Barty 64 26 64,Petra will play Sabalenka in the final,well done Petra!

Top seeds Barbora Strycova and Hsieh Su-wei win their doubles final match against No6 seeds Gabriela Dabrowski and Jelena Ostapenko 62 57 10-2 to complete Middle East sweep in the same season since Lisa Raymond and Liezel Huber in 2012.

Ladies singles final,centre court at 6pm start.

(8) Petra Kvitova vs (9) Aryna Sabalenka.
Petra has a 2-1 H2H,though they have not played in more than a year.

If Petra wins the title,she will return to the Top10 at World No10,pushing out Naomi Osaka.Aryna would move to No12 should she finish as runner-up,and No11 should she win.A defeat would put Petra at No12.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Impressive level of play from Aryna Sabalenka,who hit Petra off the court,63 63.Well deserved title Aryna,well done!
With this win Aryna will move to No11 in world rankings.

Sorry to see Petra lose. I hope she wins a few more titles before it gets too late.

Jabeur is fun to watch. She’s playing much better since losing weight.
