The victor will claim his second ATP World Tour singles title of 2018. Additionally, a win for Pouille is projected to put him into the Top 10 of the ATP World Tour singles rankings for the first time in his career. • Pouille has now reached his second final in as many weeks, and, indeed, he was only a couple of games away from coming into Dubai with two titles on the season already in hand. However, Pouille fell to Karen Khachanov in the Marseille final last week, with the Russian prevailing 7-5 in the final set. The arduous final did not end well for the Frenchman, but he still came to Dubai undeterred. This week, after eliminating former Top 10 player Ernests Gulbis in the first round, Pouille exacted revenge on Khachanov in the second round with a three-set win over the Russian.

The qualifying event will take place over First Watch Opening Weekend, August 10-11, at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio. A total of 15 players – seven women and eight men – will advance out of the two-round qualifying tournament into the 56-player main draw fields for the Western & Southern Open. The winners of seven ATP titles – Nicolas Jarry (Bastad), Juan Ignacio Londero (Cordoba), Feliciano Lopez (Queen’s), Reilly Opelka (New York), Tennys Sandgren (Auckland), Lorenzo Sonego (Antalya) and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (Montpellier) – will be joined by four WTA champions – Polona Hercog (Lugano), Alison Riske (‘s-Hertogenbosch), Elena Rybakina (Bucharest) and Yafan Wang (Acapulco) – in the qualifying fields. In addition, players in the qualifying fields have combined to reach another 14 tour-level finals in 2019. The women’s field also features a duo coming off deep runs at Wimbledon in semifinalist Barbora Strycova and quarterfinalist Riske. “The qualifying tournament often provides some of the most compelling action because there is a lot on the line for these players who are battling to reach the main draw,” said tournament director Andre Silva. “We think these two days are a great opportunity for our fans to not only see these matches across eight courts but also provide a chance to get up-close-and-personal to main draw competitors who are practicing across the other nine courts.” Tickets for First Watch Opening Weekend start at $14.

    IMAGES AVAILABLE HERE: https://we.tl/t-NL9T4f4tjd Press Release Wednesday, 12th September 2018 3000 KIDS JOIN BRITISH TENNIS STARS AS GLASGOW GETS READY FOR MORE DAVIS CUP ACTION The Great Britain Davis Cup team today welcomed over 3,000 Scottish school children to the Emirates Arena in Glasgow, for a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch a practice session and get on court with team captain Leon Smith and a number of the players including Jamie Murray and Cameron Norrie ahead of GB’s World Group play-off tie against Uzbekistan this weekend. Children from over 60 schools around Glasgow and North and South Lanarkshire were invited to meet the Great Britain team and watch a practice session in the lead up to their historic first ever Davis Cup meeting with Uzbekistan.

Nadal is the all-time leader with 34 ATP Masters 1000 titles, one more than Novak Djokovic’s 33, and will try to pick up his 35th trophy at this level at an event he has already won four times (2005, 2008, 2013, and 2018). He has also reached a record-breaking 51st ATP Masters 1000 final this week, moving one ahead of Roger Federer’s 50. Nadal did not have to play a semi-final match, as Gael Monfils withdrew from their Saturday night clash after suffering injury during the Frenchman’s lengthy Saturday afternoon quarter-final win over Roberto Bautista Agut. • To extend his lead in the all-time ATP Masters 1000 title standings, Nadal will have to overcome Medvedev, a player who will be contesting his first-ever ATP Masters 1000 final. However, despite that disparity in experience at this level, Medvedev has proven to be a formidable competitor on hardcourts.
