It’s another mouthwatering day of action with titles to be won in Rotterdam, Dallas and Cluj-Napoca, while the prestigious WTA 1000 event in Doha gets underway.

22:45 CET - Amanda Anisimova (23) is the final winner of the day, beating Victoria Azarenka (35) 6-3, 7-5 in Doha.

21:55 CET - Denis Shapovalov (25) is the Dallas champion! The Canadian has just won the biggest title of his career, beating Casper Ruud (26) 7-6(5), 6-3 to clinch his third ATP title.

It has been a fantastic return to form this week for Shapovalov, who has played an aggressive brand of tennis.

21:08 CET - Denis Shapovalov (25) has taken the first set 7-6(5) against Casper Ruud (26) with an exhibition of massive serving. He is a set away from the title in Dallas after a fabulous week.

20:35 CET - Ekaterina Alexandrova (30) has exacted revenge on Emma Raducanu (22) after their match at the Australian Open, turning the tables this time around and clinching a 6-3, 7-5 victory in Doha.

Also in the first round of Doha, Beatriz Haddad Maia (28) has been dumped out, suffering a 6-4, 2-6, 6-2 defeat to Magdalena Frech (27).

20:07 CET - Elina Avanesyan (22) is through in Doha after surviving a brief wobble in the second set to defeat Xinyu Wang (23) 7-6(3), 1-6, 7-6(5) in just under three hours.

19:33 CET - Casper Ruud (26) is set to take on Denis Shapovalov (25) in the Dallas final which gets underway in around 25 minutes, and the Norwegian will be hopeful that he can take down the resurgent Canadian, having beaten him in both their previous meetings.

However, Shapovalov is in great form, and is more accustomed to the hard courts than his opponent, which should make it a very tight contest.

Ruud has the opportunity to win his first title since May last year, while former top 10 player Shapovalov is eyeing a third ATP title.
