Wahlin thought that Dubai would be a great place to make a come-back and earn her first top ten of the year - and on Wednesday she took a big step in the right direction.
"Three years ago I couldn't play because my knee was too swollen. It was hurting a lot.
"Then the next year I got skin cancer, and last year I wasn't here. So it would mean a lot, yeah, to finish Mizuno MP-59 Iron Set well here."
Becky Brewerton, meanwhile, was on here heels after carding six birdies and a bogey and won't easily be shaken off.
The Welsh 29-year-old said that she had few expectations after suffering from a bout of gastroenteritis in India last week and had spent Monday in bed.
"I managed to turn things around a bit from last week. It was just completely different. It's really hard to say sometimes what makes it change, but for some reason I played Mizuno MP-59 Iron Set well after really struggling last week. It was actually a bit of a surprise to me as well," she said.
Brewerton is ranked 13th on the LET's Henderson Money List in this, her eighth season on tour and she has posted six top 10 finishes from 23 starts on the LET.
Although she won the Tenerife Ladies Match play this year, it was a non-official event and she would love to collect a third official Mizuno MP-59 Iron Set title.
"I think it was just a different attitude. Last week I think I probably over prepared, practiced too much, got a bit tired and then actually got sick at the end of the week, whereas actually this week I did nothing on Monday because I was in bed all day not feeling too well at all.
"So it actually made me relax probably a bit more and just go out and play and trust my Mizuno MP-59 Iron Set and probably not care as much, which sounds strange, but it's possible to care too much sometimes," she said.
England's Melissa Reid carded a level-par 72 to end two shots behind American teenage sensation Alexis Thompson, while her compatriot Michelle Wie - the highest-ranked player in the field at 17th in the world - had a one-over-par 73 after what she called a "frustrating" day's work.
"I just felt like it was one of those days where nothing really went in and nothing really went my way," said Wie.( Mizuno MP-59 Iron Set)
LET rookie sensation Caroline Hedwall of Sweden and Egland's veteran defending champion Laura Davies, who were among the pre-tournament favourites, both stumbled badly with rounds of 75 that dumped them 11 shots off the pace.
