    ·

    Jesper Skeel

    There were only two possible outcomes of the draw, either Chelsea from England or Vitoria Guimaraes  from Portugal.

    And it was Chelsea that came out of the bowl, as the opponent in the round of 16.

    Chelsea is the best seeded team in the tournament, ahead of FC Copenhagen who were seeded second, but must be considered heavy favourites against the Danes.

    First leg will be played at Parken in Copenhagen, at March 6 6.45 pm, and the second leg will take place a week later at Stamford Bridge, London.

    Jesper Skeel

    The Danish tennis sensation Clara Tauson is ready for the final in the Dubai Tennis Championship after a three set win over Karolina Muchova 6 – 4, 6 – 7, 6 – 3.

    Throughout the match, Tauson had a strong serve, and deserved her place in the final, but

    Muchova didn’t go without a fight, and the players had many remarkable duels. 

    Among them in the third set, Muchova delivered the shot of the day, with a magical loop. Tauson was close to the net, but Muchova caught her, with a loop, from a so-called tweener, hitting the ball between her legs, and while her back was facing the net.

    The tournament is rated as a WTA 1000 tournament, which is just below the Grand Slams and the season finals.

    In Saturdays final Tauson will face the teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva from Russia, who won her semi final versus Elena Rybakina.

    Reaching the finals has secured the finalists at least 351.801 USD, and the winner will besides the title take home 597.000 USD
