Draped in an elegant white dress, Elizabeth Okine was taking in the picturesque settings at the Irish Village, which houses the Dubai Tennis Stadium, the venue for the award-winning Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. Elizabeth looked on as fans passed by and people at the eateries enjoyed their beverages and snacks. It was 5 pm and Elizabeth seemed to be in no hurry to get inside the stadium and grab her seat. The reason which brought her from Krakow, Poland, to Dubai was Iga Swiatek, her compatriot who is now a national icon in her country. The four-time Grand Slam…
