Dubai, February 19
Karolina Pliskova and Garbine Muguruza re-established order among seeds on Wednesday as both reached the quarterfinals of the WTA Dubai Championships.
While No. 2 Czech Pliskova strolled in barely an hour to a 6-1 6-2 defeat of qualifier Kristina Mladenovic, it took number nine Muguruza almost two and a half hours to get past Russian Veronika Kudermetova 7-5 4-6 6-4. Muguruza will take on Jennifer Brady, a 4-6 6-4 6-21 winner against Marketa Vondrousova. — AFP
