WTA ENTRY LIST 2024 Abu Dhabi Open including Elena RYBAKINA, Ons JABEUR, Maria SAKKARI, Emma RADUCANU and Naomi OSAKA (Update - 29-01)
WTA
The
organization of the WTA 500 Abu Dhabi Open has finalized the lineup for the
2024 edition with the confirmation of a wild card for the 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu and four players within the top-10.
The main
seeds for the tournament will be Elena Rybakina, Ons Jabeur, and Maria Sakkari.
The event is scheduled to take place between February 3rd and 11th at Zayed
Sports City's International Tennis Centre. Following the conclusion of the
Australian Open on January 28th, the WTA Tour will feature several tournaments
in Asia, and Abu Dhabi is set to host one of the most competitive main draws.
Prominent Players
Notable
players include world No. 3 Rybakina, who returns to the tournament after
reaching the quarterfinals last year, where she was defeated by Beatriz Haddad
Maia. The Kazakh player will face tough competition with the confirmation of
stars like Ons Jabeur (No. 6), Maria Sakkari (No. 9), and Barbora Krejcikova
(No. 10).
Former US
Open champion Emma Raducanu is expected to attract considerable attention as
she recently returned to the WTA Tour after a 9-month hiatus. She showcased
impressive form at the ASB Classic, securing a victory in the opening round
against Elena-Gabriela Ruse (6-3, 4-6, 7-5) but was eliminated in the second
round by Elina Svitolina (7-6, 6-7, 1-6).
Haddad Maia
will also be present to defend the points from her semifinal appearance in Abu
Dhabi in 2023, joined by the finalist from the last edition, Ludmila Samsonova.
However, the reigning champion Belinda Bencic will not participate in Abu Dhabi
due to her recent pregnancy. Naomi Osaka will also play in this tournament making a swift return after the Australian Open
