Elina Svitolina Faces Jessica Pegula after Coco Gauff Epic!
Locker Room
February 21, 2026
Elina Svitolina will have to recover quickly from her heroic efforts against Coco Gauff if she is to take the Dubai title.
And Carlos Alcaraz will need to guard against complacency in the Qatar final when he takes on the unseeded underdog Arthur Fils.
The thrills and spills of big-time tennis have been there for all to see in the Middle East.
Elina Svitolina, Coco Gauff and Carlos Alcaraz will display their extraordinary fighting spirit once more at Wimbledon 2026. We can’t wait!
Coco saved four match points in an epic tie-break against Svitolina. But the battling American couldn’t turn that courageousness into victory.
Svitolina eventually triumphed 6-4, 6-7 (13-15) 6-4 in a classic lasting more than three hours. And the gruelling nature of that marathon might ultimately benefit Jessica Pegula.
The last American standing defeated Amanda Anisimova 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 to secure her final date against Svitolina.
Pegula had more court craft than her younger adversary – and showed how tactical versatility can often overcome raw power in the end.
But Svitolina’s fantastic will to win makes this a fascinating final to anticipate in this weekend.
Men’s tennis is no longer predictable either. Jakub Mensik’s shock quarter-final win over Jannik Sinner reminded us of that.
But Mensik couldn’t follow up that giant-killing against the unfancied Arthur Fils. The Frenchman scraped home 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) to set up a final showdown against Carlitos.
Dubai and Qatar have witnessed some amazing performances in the last few days. So just imagine what Wimbledon will bring out in the best!
