Ajla Tomljanovic will make a last minute entry into the Abu Dhabi World Tennis Championships which is a three day exhibition event.
Tomljanovic will replace Amanda Anisimova; who has had to pull out due to injury; she said in a statement that she was really disappointed to do so.
“It’s really disappointing to have to withdraw from the Mubadala World Tennis Championship,” Anisimova said in a press release. “I was looking forward so much to coming to Abu Dhabi and I hope to make the trip in the future.”
Tomljanovic on the other hand said that it will be the perfect challenge ahead of the new season; as well that she is really looking forward to facing Maria Sharapova in the first match.
“I’ve heard amazing things about Abu Dhabi and the championship, and I’m really looking forward to playing in front of this crowd against Maria.” said Tomljanovic. “It will give the perfect challenge ahead of a big season."

AceOfBase10-11-2024 - Zheng v Gauff the best final we could get. Both were and remain in top form the last few weeks. Queenwen even the whole year almost. If she finds her aces she's a contender. If not, Gauff's gonna take it.MrAndreeva08-11-2024

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
