CHI Al Shaqab and LGCT 2019 to wow fans in Qatar Yastremska clinches Thailand Open title AFP HUA HIN, THAILAND Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska won the Thailand Open yesterday with a hard-fought victory, battling past Australia’s Ajla Tomljanovic 6-2, 2-6, 7-6 (7/3). The overtime thriller in the seaside city of Hua Hin gave the 18-year-old her second WTA title. After dominating the first set, eighth seed Yastremska faced some strong returns from the 25-year-old Toml- janovic, who took the second set to level the match. A fierce rally in the final moments of the third set pushed the final into a tie-breaker. Yastremska sealed her win with a searing forehand after a tense two hours and 22 minutes. The Ukrainian teen burst into tears and collapsed on the floor, and then put her hands together in a traditional Thai greeting to acknowledge the cheering crowd. “I was always trying to play the same as you,” she said to Tomljanovic in the post-match interview. A general view of the Al Shaqab Arena during CHI Al Shaqab in this file photo. The 47th-ranked Yastremska dedicated her win to her mother, who had to return to Ukraine for an operation.

The league leaders had dropped two points in their fi rst game since resump- tion of the league last week, when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Umm Salal. But yesterday, Duhail were back in business as goals from Mohamed Muntari (fourth minute) and substitute Paulo Edmilson (80th minute) ensured they stayed on course for the title. With three matches remaining, the Red Knights need to win two to clinch the title. One of those matches is against defending champions Al Sadd. Rayyan’s draw against Al Arabi on Sat- urday could prove costly for the Lions. Al Gharafa, who had beaten Al Arabi 1-0 last week, could not repeat that performance and had to play second fi ddle to Al Duhail, who had more of the ball. The Cheetahs remained on 31 points, but retained their fourth posi- tion in standings. Defender Sultan al-Breik had a role in Al Duhail’s both goals as he provided the assists with measured crosses from the left.
