Jasmine Paolini lost to Sofia Kenin in the third round of the WTA 1000 tournament in Dubai on Wednesday.

After losing the first set 6-4, the Italian crashed out in the first game of the second set, necessitating a few minutes' interruption.

Paolini insisted on continuing to play despite her sore ankle, but could do nothing. She lost 6-4, 6-0.

She was the defending champion and will lose a lot, losing 880 points and at least two places in the WTA rankings.

It remains to be seen how serious her ankle injury is.
