Elina Svitolina and Belinda Bencic will play each other in the semifinal in Dubai. They are scheduled to compete on Friday at 7 pm.
Svitolina
Elina has reached the semifinal without dropping a single set in Dubai. The Ukrainian was particularly impressive in her last 2 matches after she defeated Garbine Muguruza 6-1 6-2 and Carla Suarez Navarro 6-2 6-3. Svitolina also has the “luck” of having her boyfriend Gael Monfils in Dubai that will support her while preparing for the ATP500.
Bencic
Ranked no. 45, Belinda is finally staging her comeback after a wrist injury. In reaching the semifinal, the Swiss had already 2 top10 wins against Aryna Sabalenka 6-4 2-6 7-6 (7) and Simona Halep 4-6 6-4 6-2.
Head to head Elina Svitolina vs. Belinda Bencic
The head to head is 1-0 for Belinda Bencic, but Elina seems to be the favorite to reach the final.
