Switzerland’s Jil Teichmann upset two-time champion Elina Svitolina of Ukraine 7-6(0) 6-2 in the second round of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships on Wednesday.
The world No.35 Teichmann is making her second appearance in Dubai after a semifinal debut in 2021, which propelled her into the Top 50 WTA rankings. After losing in the final round of qualifying to Katerina Siniakova in this year’s Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, Teichmann entered the main draw as a lucky loser and then ousted Elise Mertens in the opening match.
