２月２０日。Dubai Tennis ChampionshipsがWTAからShahar Peer問題に関連し罰金３０万ドルと来年の大会開催に関する保証金２００万ドルの支払命令を受ける。
言い訳：
Colm McLoughlin氏（大会Managing Director）
●"There is an appeal situation within the WTA rules but we haven't gone into detail on anything yet."
●"We would point out that we were among the first tournaments to give equal prize money to women and that the event has raised prize money this year from 1.5 million to 2 million dollars. The company is also a worldwide sponsor of the WTA."
●"It has not yet been decided if we will appeal."
●"Dubai Duty Free does not issue visas, we only help where possible. We had not really expected a situation like this."
▼今回のイスラエル選手問題、WTAが大会運営者に罰金を科すという展開に発展中▼ドバイ・オープンはドバイ空港免税店により運営▼上記コメントのColm McLoughlin氏は６０歳代のアイルランド人▼空港免税店のオーナーにはお金持ちが多いことが知られていますが、ドバイ店は世界でもトップクラスの売り上げとか。
