Winner of September’s US Open, the 19-year-old Spaniard is heading for Abu Dhabi this December.
World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz will make his Middle East debut this December at the 14th edition of the Mubadala World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi. The Spaniard, who won the US Open last month and in doing so became the youngest male to reach the top of the ATP world rankings, will take to the court at the International Tennis Centre at Zayed Sports City from 16 to 18 December.
Alcaraz, who turned 19 in May, will lead a line-up of six of the world’s best men’s players who will compete in the region’s leading tennis experience. They will be joined by Women’s World No.2 Ons Jabeur and British No.1 Emma Raducanu, who will face off on day one of the Championship.
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 will follow in the footsteps of superstars like Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, and his hero – and five-time winner in the UAE capital – Rafael Nadal.
“I can’t wait to participate in the Mubadala World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi,” said Carlos Alcaraz, “I’ve seen a lot of players take part in the tournament, and everyone really looks forward to it.”
Celebrating its 14th edition, this year’s Mubadala World Tennis Championship will bring its traditional mix of festive fun, interactive activities, and player meet and greets. Tickets start from AED 95 for adults and AED 45 for children and can be purchased on the event’s official website www.mubadalawtc.com.
