EMMA RADUCANU revealed that she is a "night owl" after beating Maria Sakkari in Dubai.
On why she tends to have joy against Sakkari, having won all six of their sets contested, Raducanu said: "In a way we play quite similar.
Raducanu beat the former world No.3 in the semi-finals on the way to winning the U.S. Open in 2021.
Raducanu will next face former Roland Garros finalist Karolina Muchova in round two.
Raducanu has been working with Jane O'Donoghue in Dubai, having periodically turned to her former mentor when between coaches in the past.
