If it works, then it works, thinks Belinda Bencic and is at the WTA 500 event in Abu Dhabi after a convincing performance in the quarterfinals. The Swiss defeated Ukraine's Marta Kotyuk in straight sets on Wednesday, earning her ticket to the last eight. There it is surprisingly against Shelby Rogers, who benefited from a task in the third set against the Estonian Anett Kontaveit, who was seeded seventh.
The number five in Abu Dhabi has already failed. Jelena Ostapenko met the Chinese Quinwen Zheng and after a hard-fought tie-break in section one she had nothing to oppose. Zheng could face top seed Daria Kasatkina from Russia in the quarterfinals. Also in the quarterfinals: Veronika Kudermetova, who showed no weaknesses against Elise Mertens.
