Wozniacki’s loss leaves Dubai title race wide open?

Question

With top seed Caroline Wozniacki losing in the third round of the Dubai Tennis Championships, and the in-form Elena Dementieva forced to retire injured in the second round, is the title race now wide open in Dubai?

Answer 1

It certainly improves Venus Williams’ chances of defending her title. She won’t face a seeded opponent until at least the semi-finals now Dementieva is no longer in the mix. There were always plenty who were going to challenge the top seed though.
