WTA Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open

‍

The inaugural Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open gets underway on Monday, and tomorrow will see a massive first-round clash between former world No 1’s Karolina Pliskova and Garbine Muguruza.

‍

With neither player seeded and having slid down the rankings of late, both Pliskova and Muguruza ran the risk of a difficult opening round tie.

‍

In what will be the 12th meeting between these two heavyweights Pliskova is the clear favourite on paper, having won each of their last four encounters.

‍

Tomorrow’s winner will face none other than Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina in the second round. And we’ll have more details tomorrow as Canada’s Rebecca Marino, Leylah Fernandez and Bianca Andreescu all take to the court in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.

You can tune in to all of the WTA Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open matchups on DAZN and the Tennis Channel.
