Bertens withdraws from Dubai Duty Free, Clijsters to face Muguruza now
WTASunday, 16 February 2020 at 10:00
Kiki Bertens was supposed to welcome Kim Clijsters back on courts, however, the Dutch has withdrawn from the tournament.
Kiki Bertens is playing in a very good form at the moment when she reached the final in St. Petersburg. In Dubai, Bertens was the 8th seeded and should have met former no. 1 Kim Clijsters in the first round. However, she has withdrawn from the tournament and so the draw saw minor changes.
2020 Australian Open finalist, Garbine Muguruza who was supposed to play Elina Svitolina in the first round became the 9th seeded player. The Spaniard replaced Bertens in the draw and she will be playing Clijsters in the first round. Svitolina will meet the qualifier or lucky loser instead.

- 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".
