UPCOMING EVENTS

The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships is an annual tennis tournament and a favourite amongst fans and players on both tours, regularly winning Tournament of the Year accolades in both the ATP and WTA end-of-year awards. It began life as the Dubai Men’s Open back in 1993 and, 8 years later in 2001, the tournament was extended to include female players.

The women’s tournament, played over the first week, alternates between a WTA 1000 and WTA 500 event; the men’s ATP 500 ATP 500 tournament follows in the second week. In 2023, the women’s tournament will be a WTA 1000 event, having been a WTA 500 event in 2022.

The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships is now one of the biggest tennis events in the Middle East, and combines on-court action with a range of off-court entertainment.
