The greatest show on court: World Tennis League 2023
The World Tennis League 2023 (WTL) comes to Abu Dhabi! Fans of the internationally renowned sporting event can look forward to seeing their favourite tennis greats in action in the capital soon. Here is all we know about the anticipated event so far.
About World Tennis League 2023
The WTL is a mixed-gender team-based tennis tournament, the first edition of which was held in Dubai in 2022. It includes 18 players who are divided into four teams, namely Falcons, Kites, Eagles and Hawks.
Each team has four or five players. The format of the game is round-robin to ensure that every player gets to compete with one another. This includes a women’s singles match, men’s singles match and a tournament of mixed doubles. The two teams that come out on top compete with each other.
The winners of the 2022 season were Team Hawks, with Elena Rybakina, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverev. And the action is expected to be just as exciting this time as well.
Plans are officially in place for Yas Island to host the next three seasons of the tournament on Yas Island, a leading entertainment destination in the capital emirate.
