Dubai Tennis Championships
The Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships is organized by Dubai Duty Free and held annually during february in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on outdoor hardcourts. The tournament organizes both a men's and women's event with singles and doubles categories.
For five years Swiss Roger Federer, on the men's side, and Belgian Justine Henin, on the women's side, dominated the singles' tournaments. Between 2003 and 2007, Federer and Henin each won the singles title four times. However, in 2008, neither player managed to reach the finals; Andy Roddick and Elena Dementieva became the new champions. Currently, the reigning champions are Novak Djokovic and Venus Williams.
The Dubai Championships are currently under review by the ATP and WTA tours as a result of the Shahar Pe'er controversy, where entry to the country was denied to her for political reasons.
