–

Just one seeded player left in the Dubai semifinals – and it’s world No. 1 Iga Swiatek.

She’s joined by a fair few surprises: Sorana Cirstea, Jasmine Paolini and qualifier Anna Kalinskaya, who upset Coco Gauff on Thursday.

On the doubles side, the Cana-Kiwis are looking for a finals berth.

(Dubai is 9 hours ahead of ET; Puerto Vallarta is one hour behind)
