WTA
The Women's draw has been released for the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships which takes place between February 17-22 2020.
Many big names are involved at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships including Simona Halep, Karolina Pliskova and Elina Svitolina.
It is certain games otherwise in the draw that will capture the attention though; with Kim Clijsters who will be making her comeback to the tour in this event. She will take on sixth seed Kiki Bertens.
Svitolina will take on Australian Open finalist Garbine Muguruza; who will return to the tour after her remarkable run in Melbourne; with the Ukrainian losing out to Nao Hibino in Hua Hin, it could be an opportunity for the Spaniard.
The winner will potentially face emerging talent Marketa Vondrousova. Other ties include Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin against Elena Rybakina; as well as Maria Sakkari versus Aryna Sabalenka.
