DUBAI: The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships’ top three seeds remain in contention for WTA1000 glory after successfully navigating their respective routes into Thursday’s quarter-finals.
Iga Swiatek barely worked up a sweat on Wednesday in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, yet she still registered two wins at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.
The 21-year-old Pole was then handed a walkover into the semifinals when scheduled quarterfinal opponent Karolina Pliskova pulled out with an injury.On Wednesday, Swiatek triumphed 6-1, 6-0 over Samsonova to follow her opening 6-1, 6-1 win over Leylah Fernandez.Swiatek has dropped only eight games in her last six matches, a stretch which saw her lift the Doha title last weekend.
Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka remain on course to meet in the final of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships after coming through their last-16 matches in contrasting fashion. World No. 1 Swiatek recorded another dominant win as she beat Liudmila Samsonova 6-1 6-0 – and then got a bye into the semi-finals as Karolina Pliskova withdrew from the tournament due to illness.
February 22, 2022 wasn’t the day where it all started for Iga Swiatek, but in many ways it was. This time last year, Swiatek was not the star name on the WTA Tour.

Even by this tournament's standards, the field assembled at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships this week is something special. Eighteen of the world's top 20 were part of the lineup at the start of the week and the two missing would almost certainly have been involved under different circumstances; Tunisian star Ons Jabeur recovering from injury while two-time champion Simona Halep is serving a provisional doping ban.
The top two seeds in the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships lost a combined three games while cruising to second-round wins on Tuesday in the United Arab Emirates.
