Ons Jabeur has been named as the replacement for Emma Raducanu at the Mubadala World Tennis Championships. Raducanu had been scheduled to meet Belinda Bencic in the lone women’s match at this year’s Mubadala World Tennis Championships but a positive COVID-19 ruled Raducanu out of the Abu Dhabi exhibition.
