[PierreC]

wonder if Serena will actually be playing here....

[Kirilenkofan]

I would say that like almost every other event she enters, she'll find some reason not to play..

[Terrell]

quite a few of these players will be doing a somewhat long trip to reach Dubai as they are playing Antwerp...could factor in..

[Jennifer]

Bremond might also be withdrawing since she didn't finish yesterday's match in Antwerp

[Davenport]

Bammer did finish..?

[PierreC]

yeah I think Bremond withdrew after the first set in Antwerp...

[Davenport]

Oops sorry, I read the wrong name.

Hey Davenport, love your avatar (know it's not that new but), do you know where this photo was taken? Do you have the full size version?

[matty]

Sharapova and Williams are out of Dubai, I think.

[Davenport]

Hey Davenport, love your avatar (know it's not that new but), do you know where this photo was taken? Do you have the full size version?
Thanks :) I'm afraid not, I found the av as this size on wtaworld.

[Davenport]

It appears the tennis news on my television gave me false info. Venus is in-fact playing. That is, for now. ;)

[Terrell]

playing in Dubai? Are you sure? I'm pretty sure she isn't but might be wrong!

[Davenport]

No, Memphis. I was a little loopy last night. :D
