World Tennis League promises to be the ‘greatest show on court’ and will have you on the edge of your seats
The World Tennis League is set to return to Abu Dhabi once again.
The iconic World Tennis League (WTL) has now signed an agreement to host not just the next, but three whole seasons on Yas Island.
The announcement was made with Abu Dhabi Sports Council (ADSC), The Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), and Miral.
Of course, there’s no better venue than the massive Etihad Arena for the tournament running from 21-24 December. The Falcons, Hawks, Eagles and Kites will play each other over a 3-day Round Robin, with the top two teams facing off in the final on 24 December.

Tickets for the new season are expected to go live by the end of August, while the tennis field is set to be announced in September.
“We learnt a lot from season 1. This year, we are shortening it to a four-day event with 2 tennis matches a day, plus the final on Sunday. Having the backing of Abu Dhabi gives us tremendous confidence of growing our event year on year and we are looking forward to making Abu Dhabi our home,” says Rahul Saxena, COO WTL.
Season 2 follows on from the stellar success of the League’s inaugural season last year, which welcomed 18 of the world’s biggest names in tennis, including Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek.
Additionally, fans were also treated to some thrilling live performances by award-winning international artists including Tiesto, Wizkid, Deadmau5, Neyo, Armin Van Burren and Mohammed Ramadan.
Can’t wait!
