We're down to the final four in Dubai and Doha, and after upsets aplenty, those still standing have a huge opportunity to claim what would be one of the biggest titles of their career.

23:15 CET - Camilo Ugo Carabelli (25) is through to the semi-finals in Rio after defeating Portugal’s Jaime Faria (21) 7-6, 6-4. Carabelli will next face fellow Argentine Sebastian Baez (24) for a place in the decider.

Top seed Alexander Zverev (27) is on court now against Francisco Comesana (24) in the third quarter with Francisco Cerundolo (26) taking on Alexandre Muller (28) in the day's last.

22:43 CET - Fifth-seeded Argentine Sebastian Baez (24) is the first man into the Rio de Janeiro semi-finals after he beat Taiwan’s Tseng Chun Hsin (23) 6-4, 6-1 in the tournament’s opening quarter-final.

21:43 CET - Jack Draper (23) is into the final in Doha after coming back to beat Jiri Lehecka (23) 3-6, 7-6, 6-3. The eighth-seeded Brit will face Andrey Rublev (27) in his fifth ATP final tomorrow.

19:37 CET -  Clara Tauson (22) has continued her brilliant run in Dubai by beating world number 17 Karolina Muchova (29) 6-4, 6-7, 6-3 to reach the final, her first WTA 1000 decider!

The young Dane had already knocked out world number one Aryna Sabalenka (26). She will next face off against fellow giant-killer Mirra Andreeva (17), who earlier beat sixth seed Elena Rybakina (25), for the title tomorrow.

18:58 CET - Andrey Rublev (27) has edged Felix Auger-Aliassime (24) 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 to move into the final in Doha! The Russian needed four match points and over two and a half hours to get the job done but he's into the decider in Qatar for the third time.

Rublev will face the winner of Jack Draper (23) and Jiri Lehecka (23), who face off shortly.

16:56 CET - The Doha semi-finals are now underway with Felix Auger-Aliassime (24) and Andrey Rublev (27) on serve at 6-5 to the Russian in the opening set.

16:23 CET - Mirra Andreeva (17) is a WTA 1000 finalist! She's made it to the final of one for the first time with a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 win over Elena Rybakina (25). There wasn't much between the two, but the Russian played the bigger points better.

13:05 CET - With just under an hour to go until Rybakina vs Andreeva, let's take a look ahead to it. 

The two have only ever faced off once before on the WTA tour with Rybakina winning a tight contest 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 at the China Open in October of 2023.

Both have been in fine form in Dubai - Rybakina has only dropped one set in her three matches while Andreeva has won all of hers.

08:30 CET - The main event today is the semi-final action in the Middle East, and the first one will begin at 13:00 CET when Elena Rybakina (25), the highest seed remaining in Dubai, will take on Mirra Andreeva (17).

Once that match is finished, the unseeded Clara Tauson (22) and world number 17 Karolina Muchova (29) will battle it out for the other spot in the final.

In Doha meanwhile, Felix Auger-Aliassime (24) and Andrey Rublev (27) will take to the court at 16:00 CET before Jack Draper (23) faces Jiri Lehecka (23).
