Andrey Rublev returns to the courts in Abu Dhabi

Three-day Mubadala World Tennis Championship will operate at full capacity.

Hot on the heels of the recent announcement that legendary, 20-time Grand Slam winner, Rafael Nadal will be the sixth player to take part at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship in December at the International Tennis Centre at Zayed Sports City, today (9 November), it was announced that Andrey Rublev, the World No. 5, is returning to Abu Dhabi this winter looking to make it third time lucky.

The Arabian Gulf’s professional tennis experience gets set for a smashing comeback at the International Tennis Centre, Zayed Sports City, in Abu Dhabi from 16 -18 December.

The Russian tennis ace, who has enjoyed a successful season, knows the Championship well having made his Abu Dhabi debut in 2017, as well as lining up for the 12th edition in 2019.

Rublev’s confirmation means the Championship now has five of world’s top 20 male players, along with women’s US Open champion, Emma Raducanu, and fellow Olympic champion Belinda Bencic, lining up for the three-day festival.
