Caroline Wozniacki pulled out of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships due to a virus on Monday.
The number nine seed was due to play Stefanie Voegele, a lucky loser following the withdrawal of Samantha Stosur, in the first round.
But another lucky loser, Polona Hercog, who lost in three sets to Lucie Hradecka in qualifying, replaced Wozniacki before losing 6-3 6-2.
