Opening day of shocks at Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships

Coco Vandeweghe of the USA in action against Karolina Pliskova of Czech Republic during day one of the WTA Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship

Julia Goerges beat two-time Grand Slam winner, Svetlana Kuznetsova, on a day of shocks at the 2016 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. The German dropped just one game against the No.8 seed, winning 6-love, 6-1 in 55 minutes. She says the match wasn't as straightforward as the score suggests...

In another shock, last year’s beaten finalist, Karolina Pliskova, crashed out to Coco Vandeweghe, losing 7-6, 6-1. The pick of today’s matches sees former world number one, Jelena Jankovic, take on rising star, Belinda Bencic.
