Valentines Day was successful for me. But not for Kostantin Kolstov.

It was a tiger pendant from Cartier. For context, the Belarusian has a tiger tattoo on her forearm. She got it when she was 16. Her mom hated it, but it holds meaning to her. Meanwhile, Koltsov is a former ice hockey player who played in two Olympic Games. He is reported to have three sons, Daniel, Alexander, and Stefan, from a previous relationship.

It is fantastic to have so many of the world’s top female players with us once more in Dubai. Every year this tournament grows in significance, further underlined by the permanent WTA 1000 status the competition has been awarded.
Said Salah Tahlak, the tournament director

Aryna Sabalenka lost to Dubai champion Barbora Krejcikova in the quarterfinals last year. The Czech went on to defeat Iga Swiatek in the final; however, the Czech is not returning to defend her Master 1000 title in Dubai.

Sabalenka remains the favorite to win the Dubai title after her excellent performance at the Australian Open, in which she didn’t lose a set. Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina, and World No. 5 Jessica Pegula will also feature in Dubai. Rybakina, with two titles this year, will be hoping to go past her runner-up place in 2020.
