Tennis - WTA - Dubai - Mauresmo withdraws

After her victory in the Paris Open, Amélie Mauresmo has announced that she would not contest the Dubai tournament, which began Sunday. The Frenchwoman had little chance to shine in the UAE since the organizers have scheduled on Monday, against the Spaniard Medina Garrigues (No. 14), which would have forced to travel through the night to arrive on time.
