The Dubai Duty Free Championship was an extremely good tournament held some time ago. The winner of that tournament was
Simona Halep who defeated Elena Rybakina in a magnificent final which was worthy of a grand slam. It was her 20th career title which earned her votes for the February 2020 Player of the month.
The Player of the month award is awarded by WTA.com and the method behind it is simple. WTA.com selects 3 finalists after which a fan vote decides who wins it. This time around the 3 finalist's were: Simona Halep,
Aryna Sabalenka and Kiki Bertens.
After a fan voting process, it was revealed that Simona won the affection of the fans and hence the award. She recently
pulled out of the Indian Wells tournament due to injury. It was revealed yesterday that the tournament itself
won't go ahead because of the Coronavirus threat.
