The Dubai Tennis Championships features a packed Day 2 schedule with 14 matches, including high-profile clashes like Amanda Anisimova vs Barbora Krejcikova and Iva Jovic vs Maria Sakkari. Predictions favor Kalinskaya over Ostapenko, Fernandez over Tjen, Siniakova over Badosa, and Anisimova over Krejcikova, with matches expected to be competitive. Iva Jovic, after a standout Australian Open run reaching the quarter-finals at age 18, explains her absence from tournaments since, citing the need for rest and body care following a demanding schedule. Despite missing several events, she maintains a high ranking at world number 20 and is set to face Kamilla Rakhimova in Dubai. Her recent form and early season results highlight her as a rising star. Meanwhile, Jovic's first-round opponent, Maria Sakkari, aims to build on her recent success, including a top-four finish in Doha. The tournament continues to attract top talent, with players like Leylah Fernandez, Paula Badosa, and others competing on outdoor hard courts in Dubai.
