Top seeds head into last 16 on a windy afternoon at the Dubai Tennis Championships

DUBAI: A raft of seeds booked passage into the Round of 16 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships as the action heated up amid glorious, if breezy, winter conditions on Tuesday. Nine matches were completed during daylight hours on day three of the WTA 1000 event at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium. Coco Gauff, the World No. 4, and No. 3 seed this week, defeated Anna Kalinskaya 6-4, 6-4 in little more than 90 minutes. As blustery winds swirled across Center Court, the conditions were challenging for both players and the momentum of the game resembled a pendulum.
