DUBAI – Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe of New Zealand were eliminated from women’s doubles competition at the Dubai Tennis Championships with a 4-6, 6-3, 10-2 loss to Czechia’s Linda Noskova and Kazakhstan’s Yulia Putintseva in second-round action Wednesday.
Noskova and Putintseva dominated the tiebreak after winning the second set against the second-seeded team to even the match.
Dabrowski and Routliffe won just one of six service points and one of four return points in the tiebreak.
