Day Two safe for top seeds everywhere

No major upsets in Dubai as the remaining first round matches were completed.

The only three setter was that between Anett Kontaveit and qualifier Samantha Stosur which opened surprisingly with the Australian completely thrashing Anett in set one, winning twice as many points to lead 6-1.

Roles were reversed in set two with all seven break points created for Kontaveit, two of which were converted, and the match evened up.

The decider was closer but Stosur struggled to win a point on the Estonian serve, and as such could manage just the one break, compared to two for Kontaveit, who advanced 1-6 6-2 6-4.
