After the thrilling 2019 ATP Finals in London, the action will now shift to the UAE capital.

Three of the world’s top four - Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev - will be in Abu Dhabi’s International Tennis Centre from December 19-21 for the Mubadala World Tennis Championship 2019.

They will be joined by multiple Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova, who will take on the latest women’s tennis sensation Amanda Anisimova on Day 1 of the championship.

And, in keeping with the spirit of the game, renowned tennis freestyler Stefan Bojic has been serving up a treat with some top tricks and flicks at Abu Dhabi's Qasr Al Watan, Saadiyat Island, Emirates Palace and Zayed Sports City.
