Women's Tennis Tournament to Be Held in Dubai

In 2025, 56 singles players will compete in the tournament, and we will also see a doubles competition, with 28 duets participating. The competition will last two weeks, after which the winners will be announced. Last year, the world number one tennis player was the beautiful Jasmine Paolini, who defeated Anna Kalinska in the final with a score of 4:6, 7:5, 7:5. Thus, Paolini took revenge for her defeat to Kalinska at the Australian Open, where both tennis players reached the second week of the Grand Slam tournament for the first time. At the time of last year's championship, the reigning champion was Barbora Krejcikova, but she withdrew from the tournament due to injury before its start. Iga Świątek retained her world number one ranking after Aryna Sabalenka lost in the second round. 

This February, the championship will be held at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium. The tennis stadium in the capital of the United Arab Emirates has been the venue for the Dubai No-Rules Tennis Championships since its inauguration in 1993. Dubai Duty Free is the proud owner and organiser of one of the most popular and competitive tournaments in the world, which has been held in Dubai for the 33rd consecutive year. The tournament, which takes place at the Dubai Duty Free.2 Tennis Stadium in Garhoud, Abu Dhabi, will be held non-stop from 16 to 22 February 2025, starting with the WTA 1000 tournament, followed by the ATP 500 tournament from 24 February to 1 March 2025. Visitors can enjoy the picturesque surroundings of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium, including the extremely popular Irish Village and Century Village restaurants, offering a wide range of dining options.

The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium, which officially opened in February 1996, has become a magnet for those seeking entertainment in Dubai. The stadium is located within the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Centre and is completely self-contained. The stadium includes a 5,000-seat centre court, VIP suites and royal enclosure, a press office, media interview rooms, WTA and ATP World Tour offices, TV commentary booths and changing rooms. When not hosting the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, the stadium also serves as a concert venue, where Sting, Gerry Halliwell, Bryan Adams, Enrique Iglesias, Gloria Gaynor, Eminem, Coldplay and many others have performed.

This year's winners will receive impressive prize money, even greater worldwide fame and the drive from the upcoming difficult matches. Tickets for the Dubai Women's Tennis Championships 2025 are a great opportunity to support your favorite athletes and experience the bright emotions of the game.
