[Ynet News] Sa'ar Haas - Israeli tennis star Shahar Peer was denied entry to take part in the Dubai Tennis Championships this week. Women's Tennis Association Chairman Larry Scott said, "We are deeply disappointed by the decision of the UAE denying Shahar Peer a visa." The "WTA Tour believes very strongly, and has a clear rule and policy, that no host country should deny a player the right to compete at a tournament for which she has qualified by ranking," Scott said. The Tour "will review appropriate future actions with regard to the future of the Dubai tournament."
