The fifth day of the WTA 500 Abu Dhabi tournament offers the quarter-final battle at Zayed Sports City's International Tennis Centre, with some of the world's best players seeking the semi-final spot.
The 4th seed Aryna Sabalenka fights against the 6th seed Elena Rybakina in the opening match of the day, seeking the second victory over the Kazakh after Wuhan 2019. Both players produced good tennis on Sunday to oust Ons Jabeur and Daria Kasatkina, and it should be an entertaining clash of bold and aggressive tennis.
The top seed Sofia Kenin survived a thrilling contest against Yulia Putintseva on Sunday, fending off a match point and prevailing in the decisive tie break to remain on the title course. Sofia plays against Maria Sakkari for a place in the semis, with the Greek taking down Garbine Muguruza in straight sets in the previous clash.
The young Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk is back at her best after a mediocre season behind us. The young Ukrainian faces Sara Sorribes Tormo in the quarters battle, an important clash for both players considering their ranking. In the last encounter of the day, Elina Svitolina plays against Veronika Kudermetova, mighty relieved to reach the quarters after fending off match points versus Ekaterina Alexandrova on Sunday. Kudermetova defeated Svitolina in their previous match in Moscow 2019.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
