Wozniacki pulls out of Dubai Open

DUBAI: Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki has withdrawn from the ongoing Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships due to a viral illness. The 28-year-old, who was scheduled to play Swiss tennis player Stefanie Voegele, expressed disappointment over the same but asserted that she needs to be fair to herself, as well. "I was prepared and was ready to play. I was hoping to recover in time and get ready to play the game but I just wasn't. I have to fair to myself as well. If I cannot even play at reasonable level there is no reason for me to be out there," Caroline said.
