Did you think the Dubai singles final would feature Jessica Pegula and Elina Svitolina – two solid veterans looking for a big get? You probably didn’t have a lot of company.

But for Pegula, arguably the most consisttent player over the last six months, the work paid off with a big title.

Meanwhile, Gabriela Dabowki and Luisa Stefani were looking for a 1000 title. And got it in impressive fashion.

(Dubai is 9 hours ahead of ET).
