Dubai Tennis Championships: When does Coco Gauff play next? Quarter-final opponent, time and date

Published

on

In the opening rounds of the Dubai Duty-Free Tennis Championships, we’ve seen some intense action. Indeed, many fans have been duly impressed by a number of performances, but such is the way when playing on hard courts, where the ball has a bit more zip to it. A WTA 1000 event, the tournament is now at the quarterfinal stage, meaning there are several high-profile matchups coming your way.

The Dubai Duty-Free Tennis Championships quarterfinal match between Coco Gauff and Anna Kalinskaya will be played on Friday, February 22nd at 11:00 a.m. ET.

There is actually no history between these two, as this is in fact the the first time that Coco Gauff and Anna Kalinskaya will be playing against each other.

In the form of world No. 38 Anna Kalinskaya, 19-year-old Coco Gauff is going to face a very interesting challenge. Though she’s never been past the quarterfinal stage of a Grand Slam, there’s no doubt that the 25-year-old Russian knows her way around the court. Yet, it’s got to be said that if there is one thing that the young American has shown in her impressive career so far, it’s that she has no problem rising to a challenge.
Now, it’s true that Gauff was not up to par in her last outing, the Qatar Open, but that’s likely the reason why she appears to be firing on all cylinders in Dubai as she looks to make amends. Indeed, one need only take a look at the way in which she dominated her unseeded Italian opponent, Elisabetta Cocciaretto, in straight sets (6-1, 7-5) to advance to the Round of 16 where she defeated former world no. 1 . Karolína Plíšková. As for Kalinskaya is concerned, there’s no way of denying that there is a gulf in the rankings between her and her American opponent, however, her quarterfinal berth comes as a result of a stellar performance against world no. 5 Jeļena Ostapenko, defeating the Latvian in straight sets, 6-4, 7-5.
