Gagliardi defeated in Dubai
Swiss women's number three, Emmanuelle Gagliardi, has been knocked out in the second round of the WTA tournament in Dubai.
Gagliardi was beaten by French third seed, Amélie Mauresmo, in just two sets, 6-3, 6-2.
The defeat comes after the 25-year-old Genevan won Tuesday’s first round match 6-4, 6-3 over Australia’s Nicole Pratt in straight sets.
The win over Pratt was Gagliardi’s first since her surprise victory over Russia’s Elena Likhovtseva in the opening round of January’s Australian Open.
