UAE’s capital is about to witness the best in tennis at the 14th edition of the world-class event.
The Mubadala World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi is really levelling up with the line-up for its 14th edition.
Tennisheads, you won’t be able to keep calm with World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz debuting at the championship this December. The Spaniard won the US Open last month, and in doing so became the youngest male to reach the top of the ATP world rankings.
And now, the region can catch him live in action at the International Tennis Centre at Zayed Sports City from 16-18 December.

All of 19 years old, Alcaraz will lead a line-up of six of the world’s best men’s players slated to compete in the region’s leading tennis experience. Joining them are Women’s World No.2 Ons Jabeur and British No.1 Emma Raducanu, set to face-off on Day 1.
Alcaraz’s victory at Flushing Meadows in September was his sixth ATP Tour singles title and his fifth in 2022. Competing at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship for the first time, he walks the same path as Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, and his hero – and five-time winner in the UAE capital – Rafael Nadal.
Championship owner Flash Entertainment confirmed two more of the six-player men’s line-up will be revealed in the coming days and reiterated its commitment to bringing the sport’s biggest and best players to the region. Alcaraz certainly fits that bill.
This year, the Mubadala World Tennis Championship promises a traditional mix of festive fun, interactive activities, and player meet and greets.
