Wawrinka's Run, Baghdatis' Drought at Stake DUBAI DUTY FREE TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS: FINAL MEDIA NOTES Saturday, February 27, 2016 Dubai Duty Free Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates | February 22-27, 2016 Draw: S-32, D-16 | Prize Money: $2,249,215 | Surface: Hard ATP Info: Tournament Info: ATP PR & Marketing: www.ATPWorldTour.com www.dubaidutyfreetennischampionships.com Nicola Arzani: [email protected] @ATPWorldTour @DDFTennis Richard Evans: [email protected] facebook.com/ATPWorldTour facebook.com/Dubai-Duty-Free-Tennis-Championships-146132218775533 WAWRINKA’S RUN, BAGHDATIS’ DROUGHT AT STAKE SATURDAY FINALS PREVIEW: No. 2 seed Stan Wawrinka hasn’t lost a final in three years. Unseeded Marcos Baghdatis hasn’t won one in six. Both streaks will snap or survive when Wawrinka and Baghdatis clash for the Dubai singles title on Saturday. In the doubles final, Simone Bolelli and Andreas Seppi play for their first team title against Doha champions Feliciano Lopez and Marc Lopez. Neither the Italians nor the Spaniards have dropped a set in Dubai this week. All six finalists are over the age of 30, with Wawrinka and Baghdatis born 81 days apart. Though he never met Baghdatis on the ITF Juniors Circuit, Wawrinka has dominated the Cypriot on the ATP World Tour, sweeping all five of their FedEx ATP Head 2 Head meetings. Wawrinka has also won his last eight finals, including a pair of Grand Slams, dating back to 2013 ’s-Hertogenbosch. Baghdatis, on the other hand, is 0-4 in finals since winning his fourth title at 2010 Sydney. Like Baghdatis, Bolelli and Seppi are in a title drought. The Italians are 23-35 as a team, including a 6-0, 6-1 first-round loss to Jeremy Chardy and Lukas Rosol last year in Dubai. This week, Bolelli and Seppi have not lost more than four games in a set, highlighted by their quarter-final victory over Tommy Robredo and Australian Open doubles champion Jamie Murray. Lopez and Lopez also earned an impressive win, beating top seeds Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau on Wednesday.

No. 2 seed Kevin Anderson, who has already clinched a career-high 44 wins in 2015, could surpass 1,000 aces on the season against unseeded American Steve Johnson. The ATP World Tour’s ace leader, No. 7 seed Ivo Karlovic, meets a resurgent Ernests Gulbis, who is seeking his first semi- final appearance of the season. Also playing for his first semi in over a year is Lukas Rosol, who looks to build off his upset of No. 4 seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga with another of No. 6 seed Gael Monfils. No. 1 seed David Ferrer takes an 8-0 FedEx Head 2 Head record (17-2 in sets) against No. 8 seed Fabio Fognini into their quarter-final match. The in-form Italian Fognini won the Australian Open doubles title with countryman Simone Bolelli and has posted strong singles results late in the season, just as his fiancée Flavia Pennetta is doing on the women’s tour.
