Today, February 10, 2026, in Doha, Qatar, an exciting match between two Ukrainian tennis players will take place as part of the WTA 1000 tournament "Qatar TotalEnergies Open." Elina Svitolina, who is the number one seed from Ukraine and ranks 9th in the world, will face Dayana Yastremska (WTA 43), which promises to be a tense match.
It is worth noting that Yastremska managed to advance past the first round by defeating Spanish player Cristina Bucsa with a score of 6:4, 4:6, 7:6 (7:5) after 2.5 hours of intense competition. It was a tough game, especially the third set, where Dayana struggled with her serve.
A Strong Start for Svitolina
Elina Svitolina began this tournament directly from the second round, as she was seeded 7th. She is showing excellent form this season, with 10 wins in 11 matches, with only one loss to world number one Aryna Sabalenka at the Australian Open.
Head-to-Head Encounters
This meeting will be the second between Svitolina and Yastremska. Their first match took place in 2019 at the US Open, where Svitolina won with an impressive score of 6:2, 6:0.
Match Forecast
Experts consider Svitolina the clear favorite for this match due to her experience and consistent play. Yastremska, although 6 years younger, has her strengths, but it will be challenging for her to cope with such an opponent.
