Paula Badosa seemingly related to Andrey Rublev's mental health admission as the Spanish tennis star said she was "moved" by how the Russian opened up and described his personal battles. In his return to Dubai - the same place where he absolutely exploded last year during a shocking tantrum - the Russian tennis star recalled being "completely lost" and often asking himself what was the purpose of living.

In the third set, Badosa came back from a 3-5 deficit and went 6-5 up and had two consecutive match points in the 12th game. However, Rybakina also saved those two match points before completing a 4-6 7-6 (8) 7-6 (2) win to reach the Dubai quarterfinal.

In a Round-of-16 clash between Top 10 players, No. 6 seed Elena Rybakina saved six match points (four in the second-set tiebreak, and two more at 6-5 in the third set) en route to a 4-6, 7-6(8), 7-6(2) win over No.
