Jasmine Paolini limped to the finish line after rolling her ankle, with the WTA Dubai defending champion dumped out of the event 6-4, 6-0 to Sofia Kenin on Wednesday.
The Italian who jump-started her 2024 season here a year ago – winning the title and reaching Roland Garros and Wimbledon finals – took a tumble in her third-round match on the way to the defeat in 63 minutes.
World No. 4 Paolini fell early in the second set but was able to hang on in a useless exercise as she finished the match without winning another game.
2020 Australian Open champion Kenin advanced to the last eight after winning her first top five win on hard court since her Grand Slam title run five years ago
