 So with the Australian Open in the rearview mirror, we head over to the Middle East where we watch some of the biggest tournaments in the desert including Abu Dhabi with Dubai and Doha as well coming up in a couple weeks. But we start with Abu Dhabi, it's the big event and a lot of big names are coming back for the first time since the Australian Open but let's go have a look at the draw and who is actually pulled out of the draw, only a couple names. So heading over to the withdrawal list, we only have two players that are pulled out, we've got Navarro and Paulini have both pulled out of this one but let's head to the top of the draw because there are some massive names returning for the first time since Australia. Starting at the top of the draw, we've got Rabakina, number one seed, got eight seeds in this one, top four seeds get a buy in the first round starting with Rabakina. She'll take on the winner of Osaka or a qualifier and Navarro's Saka has only just come back, she's only played two or three events. So that is a crazy second round potentially for Osaka but also crazy for Rabakina of course, didn't play great at the Australian Open. So that could be a really fun second round match. Then you've got Wong versus Zhu, winner of that will take on either a qualifier or the number five seed, Oster Penko in the second round. And again, Penko is also a very dangerous opponent, we know that especially against Rabakina they have some really great clashes and they're also not very good friends so that's always makes it fun. Then you've got Kojikova the number four seed, she gets a buy in the first round, winner of that will take on either Kudamatova or another qualifier. Then you've got Kalanina taking on Bedosa, winner of that will take on either Sharenko or the number eight seed Sampsonova in the second round. So a few qualifiers in this section of the draw but some of the qualities that are still live as I'm recording this, Danielle Collins, she could be a qualifier that one of these players have to play. Also Linden is Kova who of course made it to the quarterfinals of the Australian Open. Also could be a first round opponent so you think Osaka versus Rabakina is crazy. It could be Collins versus Osaka, winner plays Rabakina so it could be even crazier if they qualify and it falls that way. Then we go over to the bottom half of the draw, you've got Kazakina number seven seed, taking on a quali. Winner of that match will take on another quali because all the qualifiers are stacked in this little section. Then you've got Garcia taking on Castella, winner of that will take on number three seed Sacri in the second round. Of course Garcia only six months ago was in the top ten so that's a crazy second round for Sacri unfortunately didn't play great at the Australian Open. So it's not going to get any easier for her. Then you've got the number six seed Adajmaya taking on Wong, winner of that will take on either the wild card Ialla or Lynette in the second round. Then you've got Buzkova taking on Rotter Canu, winner of that will take on the number two seed Onstrabur in the second round. Again the top two seeds are getting some of the comeback players and some of the nightmares with Rotter Canu and Osaka. But Rotter Canu-Juber could be a really really fun match and of course Emma Rotter Canu coming back for the first time. She played okay in Australia, lost maybe surprisingly earlier than expected but put her up against Onstrabur. That could be a really fun match on day three or four. There it is, that is the draw for Abu Dhabi and it's so stacked to start us off. First tournament really since the Australian Open that all the big names are coming back. Of course we've got Dubai and Doha coming up over the next couple weeks as well. Well we've got Shrion Tech, we've got Goff back in action, Saber Lenker of course for the first time since winning the Australian Open. But let me know down in the comments below, who do you think is going to win this one? Because it doesn't seem as easy as just picking one of the top four because the top two players have potentially really dangerous second round matches. So maybe someone like a Krajikova whose number four seed probably got the easiest draw but unfortunately for her she doesn't make it easy on herself when she plays. Maybe someone lower ranked, maybe it's an unseeded player who wins this one but it's a huge event in Abu Dhabi and we're getting some of the big names coming back for the first time.
