The "men's draw" is fair to the major players and cruel to Al-Jaziri
The "Dubai Tennis" tournament for professional players came unjust to Malik Al Jaziri, ranked 262 in the world, after placing him for the sixth time, during his seven posts, in the face of one of the most prominent tennis players who competed strongly for the title. World number 55, France's Joe Wolver Tsonga.
The tournament kicks off today at the "Dubai Duty Free" stadiums in Al Garhoud in Dubai, with prizes totaling $ 1.9 million. This came in the official conference for the lottery, which was held yesterday in the Majlis Hall at the main stadium of the "Dubai Duty Free" stadiums in Al Garhoud. It was attended by Colm McLaughlin, Executive Vice President of the Dubai Duty Free Board of Directors, Senior Vice President for Corporate Communications at Dubai Duty Free, Director of Dubai Tennis Championships, Salah Tahlak, and Secretary General of the Tennis Federation, Nasser Youssef.
The tournament draw was fair for the top seeders, after the world number four, Austrian Dominique Thiem, had a relatively easy task to reach the quarter-finals, especially as his trip to the quarter-finals would clash with the winner among two players coming from the qualifying rounds.
And the chances of the world's eighth seed, Russian Andrei Rublev, seem strong to go beyond the quarter-finals, especially as he will not face any of the world's top 40 in his career.
