Day 3 of the 2026 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships continued in Dubai with a series of second‑round women’s matches in the WTA 1000 event at the Aviation Club Tennis Centre.
American star Coco Gauff advanced to the next stage with a straight‑sets win over Anna Kalinskaya, defeating her 6‑4, 6‑4 to keep her campaign alive in the hard‑court tournament.
Several other competitors were in action as the draw narrowed toward the later rounds, with key names such as Elena Rybakina, Mirra Andreeva, and Jessica Pegula also featured in scheduled matches throughout the day.
The competition has been influenced by a few high‑profile withdrawals earlier in the week, which opened up parts of the draw and gave opportunities to lower‑ranked players to make deeper runs.
Another notable result saw Iva Jovic take control of her match against Diana Shnaider, reflecting the competitive nature of the second‑round action.
As the tournament progresses, fans are watching closely to see which contenders will emerge as threats for the title as play moves toward the Round of 16 and beyond.
