–
The WTA event in Dubai isn’t the only place there have been walkovers this week.
Jannik Sinner, seemingly suffering from some sort of virus, gave 18-year-old French kid Arthur Fils a walkover before their second-round match in Marseille.
After a bye, it would have been Sinner’s first match. But no lucky losers were still on site, so Fils got the pass to the quarterfinals – where he went on to straight-set Stan Wawrinka Friday.
In Doha, Andy Murray pulled off another miracle against Jiri Lehecka. He will play Daniil Medvedev in the final on Saturday.
Medvedev defeated a frustrated-looking Félix Auger-Aliassime in the later match.
