Mon Feb 17 16:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships: Andreeva, Kostyuk Favored in Day 2 Action
**Dubai, UAE** – The WTA 1000 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships continued Monday with several intriguing matchups. Among the highlights, a rematch between rising stars Mirra Andreeva and Elina Avanesyan is anticipated. The pair previously met in a thrilling final in Iasi last year, with Andreeva holding a slight edge in the prediction for their second encounter.
Other notable matches include Irina-Camelia Begu facing Eva Lys. While Begu is coming off a strong comeback, Lys, a recent Top 100 breakthrough, poses a significant challenge with her ability to disrupt Begu’s game. Marta Kostyuk, fresh off a strong showing in Doha where she defeated Coco Gauff, is favored to overcome Katerina Siniakova. Finally, Victoria Azarenka, despite a slow start to the year, seeks to return to winning form against Anhelina Kalinina.
The remaining round of 64 matches will conclude later this week. The tournament features a strong field, including last week’s Qatar TotalEnergies Open champion, Amanda Anisimova.
