Semifinals Set for Today
Tuesday, February 3, 2026 brings two compelling semifinals featuring four athletes who have combined dominance with composure:
| Player | Round of 16 | Quarterfinal | Total Games Lost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anisa Tatlieva (Rank 8) | BYE | d. I. Ferrao 7-5, 6-1 | 6 |
| Maya Kanbargimath (Rank 14) | d. A. Ramakhishnan 6-0, 6-0 | d. S. Gandhi 6-1, 6-1 | 2 |
| Mia Radenovic (Rank 17) | d. S. Shah 6-0, 6-0 | d. S. Volya 6-1, 6-2 | 3 |
| Eugenie Killeen (Rank 10) | BYE | d. A. Mironova 6-0, 6-1 | 1 |
Semifinal 1: Anisa Tatlieva vs. Maya Kanbargimath
Anisa’s late-set acceleration versus Ferrao (from 5-5 to 7-5, then 6-1) suggests strong finishing patterns. Maya has been nearly flawless, conceding just two games across two rounds. Expect Anisa to test Maya’s depth with early aggression, while Maya’s first-ball clarity and court coverage will aim to blunt that surge.
Semifinal 2: Mia Radenovic vs. Eugenie Killeen
Mia’s blend of pace and consistency has yielded a 24–3 games differential through two matches. Eugenie brings the week’s stingiest defense (only one game lost), built on clean returns and compact swings. The initiative on serve plus neutral-ball patience may decide this one.
Tactical Themes
- First-strike efficiency: The players who establish forehand patterns early have advanced comfortably so far.
- Return depth: Quarterfinal winners averaged quick breaks by pinning second serves; depth over pace has been decisive.
- Transition discipline: Controlled approach shots and simple volley targets are separating the best four.
Players to Watch
- Maya Kanbargimath: Minimal error tolerance and excellent rally tolerance under pressure.
- Mia Radenovic: Serves with predictable reliability and converts short balls ruthlessly.
- Eugenie Killeen: Elite point construction, especially on return plus one.

What This Means for the Final
With four form players converging, margins are slim. Look for serve-plus-one execution and deep, middle-third returns to dictate momentum. The finalists will need both physical discipline and selective aggression to prevail on Dubai’s true-bouncing hard courts.
