Elena Rybakina is out of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships albeit not in defeat with the Kazakh ace withdrawing due to illness.
Rybakina who has the most match wins on the tour this season was due to face Jasmine Paolini this afternoon in the second Quarter-Final. But has stomach flu (gastrointestinal illness/GNI) so has decided to withdraw.

She has previously struggled with illness including prior to the Australian Open which meant her winning in Brisbane was a shock to her. She also had issues last season when playing some of her best tennis at Roland Garros which took a number of months to recover from.
The hope will be that she now moves on to Indian Wells with a clean bill of health where she defends her title. Paolini now moves onto her first WTA 1000 semi-final with Marketa Vondrousova or Sorana Cirstea next up so a big chance is there.
