Elina Svitolina and Roberto Bautista Agut were the big winners at the 2018 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, with the world No 4 from Ukraine successfully defending her title, and the Spanish world No 16 winning the biggest tournament of his career.
This year's tournament will also be fondly remembered for the dream run of Tunisia's Malek Jaziri, who reached the semi-finals ranked No 117, and for the impressive campaign of Russian 20-year-old Daria Kasatkina for her march to the WTA final.
