Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships 2010

Shahar Peer's first tournament in Dubai is turning out to be quite the memorable experience so far. Israel's best tennis player defeated top seed Caroline Wozniacki 6-2, 7-5 on Wednesday to advance to the quarterfinals against Li Na at the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships.

This story has captivated me since a year ago when Peer was refused entry into the United Arab Emirates to compete in the tournament due to her Israeli citizenship.

Despite her inclusion this year, there are still numerous restrictions being placed on Peer during her stay in Dubai. While I'm working on an article that outlines these measures, check out her coach - Pablo Giacopelli - as he blogs about their experiences in Dubai. On top of clearly being an excellent instructor, Giacopelli has a fluid writing style and sly sense of humor that I've enjoyed reading. He also provides excellent insight into the manner in which Peer is being received during her stay in the Emirates.

For more Shahar Peer news, check her out on Twitter or her official website.

Stay tuned in the days ahead for my complete article on Shahar Peer and the real story of her first visit to Dubai.
