Russian Anastasia Pavliuchenkova announced that she had decided to withdraw from the Dubai tournament due to illness.
Pavlyuchenkova was scheduled to face compatriot Lyudmila Samsonova in a second-round match on Tuesday.
— Unfortunately, I cannot continue playing in the Dubai tournament. I caught the bug at the start of the Doha tournament, but I gave my all in every match in the hope of improving. I always want to be on the field and playing, but sometimes you have to listen to your body and give it the rest it needs. “I will return to court as soon as I feel better,” Pavlyuchenkova wrote on the social network.
Samsonova (12th seed) reached the 1/8 finals of the tournament, where she will play with the Czech Marketa Vondrousova (7).
