Can Venus Williams defend Dubai title?

Question

Can Venus Williams defend her title in Dubai? She’s third seed here this year.

Answer 1

Few years go by without Venus winning a title, but she’s come back to the field a bit in recent times. In her half of the draw she potentially faces Elena Dementieva and Caroline Wozniacki and that’s before she potentially reaches the final. So, it’s a big ask for Williams to win but write her off at your peril.
