The four singles qualifiers will play 2nd seed Pouille, 4th seed Dzhumhur, unseeded Donskoy and 6th seeded Kohlshreiber.
But first, Yuki needs to effortlessly get past the final qualifying round.

Re: $2.6 Million Dubai Duty Free Championships 2018
The drawsheet states the reason for Sumit's withdrawal as respiratory infection. Not sure what it means but I guess it is something similar to what happened to Sumit in davis cup dead rubber against Marc Lopez where he had breathing issues and lost the match after he had won the first set.

I guess that is pretty much a flu. If it was asthma or something (I don't know if he has it), it wouldn't be called an infection. Get well fast, Sumit.

That's awful luck! Based on the first set, it seems he was good enough to win this match. Thankfully, it does not appear to be an injury...

Terrible start by Yuki. Hopefully, the long rain break will help him. How frequent is rain in the deserts of Dubai anyway??

Re: $2.6 Million Dubai Duty Free Championships 2018
Another poor start and he is broken at love. 1-5*
With just 1 game played match is again interrupted.. I think Yuki struggle in windy conditions, that might be the case.

Re: $2.6 Million Dubai Duty Free Championships 2018
Yes, it is a really bad start. Yuki has won only 6 points in the 6 games against 20 by his opponent which is very strange to see in a match against player who is not ranked in top 100.

Re: $2.6 Million Dubai Duty Free Championships 2018
Yuki's struggle continues as he lost first set 1-6 and then got broken in very first game of 2nd set
Horrendous performance, gave some fight on Yannick serve with 2 BP's But could not convert and then got broken on love..

Re: $2.6 Million Dubai Duty Free Championships 2018
He is putting up some resistance now on Maden serve ( missed 2 breakpoints in a 22 point game) but is absolutely getting slaughtered on his own serve. Just won 2 points in his 2 service games. Double break down 0-3 in the second set. As good as over.

Re: $2.6 Million Dubai Duty Free Championships 2018
I wonder what is going wrong. Windy conditions and all that would not cause this kind of trouble for him. Weird. Hope some injury issue hasn't come up again. Argh.

Re: $2.6 Million Dubai Duty Free Championships 2018
If it is not because of an injury, it may be as simple as that he ran into someone with a strong serve and a tremendous return of serve.
When one is not able to win any points on one's own serve, its natural for other parts of the game to come apart. With Yuki's currrent serve, it is always going to be difficult at ATP level.
Hoping for the later as this guy needs a break from injuries so that he can do best he can in the years to come.
