Ostapenko pays dearly for Doha final and falls in the first round in Dubai

Jelena Ostapenko had made a great run at the WTA Doha after reaching the final and surpassing top players like Jasmine Paolini or Iga Swiatek. Only Amanda Anisimova managed to halt her aspirations. However, in WTA Dubai, things didn't go as smoothly. The Latvian paid a high price for that final, now falling in the first round of this second consecutive WTA 1000 event to Moyuka Uchijima. This Japanese player, coming from qualifying, achieved the biggest win of her career by playing solid tennis and capitalizing on Ostapenko's limited recovery after her remarkable week in Qatar. (6-3 6-3).
