Abu Dhabi’s tennis fans were promised to expect some major names to be served up at this year’s Mubadala World Tennis Championship and they have been delivered an ace from the get go.
Arguably the biggest attraction in the sport at the moment, Britain’s US Open Ladies’ champion Emma Raducanu is the first name to be pencilled in for the three-day tournament taking place this December.
