UAE to host Men's Tennis Championships in 2025

The list of players in both the men's and women's tournaments (the last of which began in 2001) features the best athletes: Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev, Iga Swiatek, Jasmine Paolini, Elina Svitolina, Martina Hingis, Amelie Mauresmo and others. As part of the 33rd tournament, the organizers offer spectators only the most exciting matches of the world's best rackets at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium, which seats five thousand people.

Last year, Hugo Humbert put on a merciless master class, during which he defeated Kazakhstan's Alexander Bublik in two straight sets and won the ATP 500 tournament in Dubai. The Frenchman, seeded fifth and rising to a career-high ranking of No. 14 after his heroic performance in Dubai, made it six titles in six ATP finals with a convincing 6-4, 6-3 victory over Bublik in front of a huge crowd at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium.

In the men's doubles final, Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor and German Jan-Lennard Struff narrowly beat Croatian Ivan Dodig and American Austin Krajicek 6-4, 4-6, [10-6]. After a couple of breaks of serve to level the first two sets, Griekspoor and Straff came from 3-1 down in the deciding super tiebreak to win nine of the last 12 points to claim their first Dubai title and share the $180,700 prize money.

Who will win this year is anyone’s guess, but it’s sure to be a thrilling tournament. The home of tennis in the UAE, the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium is a professional tennis venue.

The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium is located between two iconic Dubai landmarks – Century Village and Irish Village. Since its opening in February 1996, the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium has hosted many world-famous players such as Federer, Djokovic and the Williams sisters, as well as thousands of other professional tennis players. It was eventually voted “Best Venue” by the ATP World Tour. The stadium is equipped for both the general public and VIPs, with a VIP area and royal fencing. Its hall is also used for concerts, and musicians such as Enrique Iglesias, Sting, Boyzone and many others regularly come to the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium stage with their concerts. 

A ticket to the Dubai Men's Tennis Championships 2025 is an opportunity to visit one of the best stadiums in the Middle East, see with your own eyes who will win this exciting tennis competition, and also support your favorite athletes. Picturesque views of the UAE capital will be a pleasant bonus for two weeks of the championship.
