Emma Raducanu will play at the Dubai Tennis Championships having taken a wildcard entry, as she looks to get back to winning ways having suffered four losses on in-a-row for the first time in her career.

The 22-year-old is coming off the back of a loss at the Qatar Open at the hands of Ekaterina Alexandrova, who dispatched the Brit in straight sets.

Raducanu also featured in the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open earlier this month where she was defeated in the first round.

The Dubai tournament is a WTA 1000 event, meaning Raducanu could end up with a tough draw with all the world's top ten scheduled to compete.
