(VIDEO) Anna Kalinskaya hilariously left in stitches after loud sneeze distraction during Iga Swiatek win in Dubai

Anna Kalinskaya will face Jasmine Paolini this afternoon in the final of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships in one of the most unexpected finals on the WTA Tour in a long time. She saw off Iga Swiatek 6-4, 6-4 to reach the final but was left distracted at one point by a fan in the crowd.

Kalinskaya started her service motion at 3-2 down in the opening set and a member of the crowd let out a big sneeze, she said bless you under her breath which made her chuckle as she had to recompose herself to begin her serve.

It didn't prove to put her off too much with Kalinskaya going onto ease past the World Number One and she will be favourite to continue her recent form and claim a maiden WTA 1000 title this afternoon.
