Women’s tennis is anybody’s game right now, and Dubai’s women’s line-up is the who’s-who of players who’ve played a consistently good game in 2019 and into 2020!<\/p>\n
It’s anyone’s game…and the best place to be? In the stands!<\/h2>\n

The women’s game is wide-open and it’s looking for a new star<\/h2>\n
Fans love a hero. And gone are the days the Williams’ sisters reigned supreme, a slot for a tennis star is there for the taking.<\/p>\n
Australians in Dubai will, of course, flock to support World Number 1. Ashleigh Barty.<\/p>\n
The US has a player to back; after a huge victory in Aus (her first Grand Slam title!) Sofia Kenin has much to prove as once again she goes up against the world’s best.<\/p>\n
Swiss players Belinda Bencic and Roger Federer shared a proud moment for their nation in 2019 – with both players taking home gold at the DDF tennis, and no doubt eyes will be firmly on the prize again for 2020.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is the tournament that’s brought the tennis greats to Dubai’s grass stage<\/h2>\n
Debuting in 1993, over two decades of tennis has seen the world’s greatest including Justine Henin, Lindsay Davenport, Elena Dementieva and Venus Williams play in Dubai.<\/p>\n
