The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships Entry List has been confirmed with the WTA 1000 tournament set to take place between February 18 - February 24, 2024 and will see Iga Swiatek as top seed and Barbora Krejcikova as the defending champion.
Only two out of the top 20 will not play in Dubai with Madison Keys and Petra Kvitova due to injury and maternity leave not able to be involved. But alongside Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula among others are involved.
Swiatek reached the final last year in Dubai but suffered a shock defeat to Barbora Krejcikova with the Czech returning to Dubai to defend her first WTA 1000 title, she comes off the back of reaching the Quarter-Finals of the Australian Open losing to Aryna Sabalenka. While Swiatek comes with a point to prove after an early loss to Linda Noskova. This tournament will book end a period which also includes the Abu Dhabi Open and Qatar Open all also in February before action shifts to Indian Wells and Miami.
