–

Iga Swiatek goes for her second straight tournament title Saturday in Dubai, where she still has yet to lose a set after barely breaking a sweat the previous week in Doha.

She faces unseeded Barbora Krejcikova, who took care of both No. 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka and No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula this week.

In Merida, things are moving on to the semifinal stage.

(Dubai is nine hours ahead of ET, 12 hours ahead of PT; Merida is one hour behind)
