Today has been the first day of training for Elena Rybakina since she fell in the quarterfinals of the Doha tournament last week. Now, the schedule points towards the WTA 1000 in Dubai, where the Kazakh arrives far from her 100%. She could have skipped this stop, but the Australian Open champion wanted to make an effort, and we will have her in the draw as the top seed.

"I had many off-court commitments during the Doha week, but the idea was to keep playing. Then I caught a cold, maybe it wasn't the best option to come here since I was in bed for three days without training. It was a shame not to play this tournament being at home, so whatever happens, it will be positive to step onto the court to play matches. There are many tournaments ahead, but I feel like also seeking a great result here," she commented before her debut against Birrell.
