In a battle of Grand Slam winners, reigning Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan will face Bianca Andreescu of Canada in the last match of the evening on the Centre Court.

The men's week of the tournament will start on February 27 when world number one and 22-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic will begin his bid for his sixth title in Dubai.
