World number three Ons Jabeur has pulled out of WTA tournaments in Doha and Dubai later this month after opting to have minor surgery, the 28-year-old said on Wednesday.
“In order to take care of my health situation. My medical team have decided that I need to get a minor surgery in order to be able to be back on the courts and perform well,” Jabeur, last year’s Wimbledon and U.S. Open runner-up, said on Instagram.
She did not give any detail about the operation or why it was required.

The Qatar Open was scheduled to be held from February 13-18 with the Dubai Duty Free Championships taking place the next week.
