Tsitsipas joins Alcaraz and Raducanu at prestigious exhibition in December
Stefanos Tsitsipas won't be bored during the off-season as he added an exhibition event to his schedule.
The Greek player missed out on world no. 1 spot at this year's ATP Finals as he couldn't win all of his matches. Without a doubt, Stefanos Tsitsipas is one of the best players in the world and his rankings confirm it. Every year, the Mubadala World Tennis Championship wants to bring best of the best and it seems that they will succeed also in 2022.
Carlos Alcaraz is on the entry list for the 14th edition of this event and Stefanos Tsitsipas will join him. Casper Ruud, Andrey Rublev, Frances Tiafoe and Cameron Norrie will also compete in Abu Dhabi as Emma Raducanu and Ons Jabeur headline the WTA field. Speaking ahead of the event, the Greek said:
“The Mubadala World Tennis Championship in 2019 was an incredible experience and I’m happy to be returning to Abu Dhabi,” said Tsitsipas, “I still cherish the love and support my fans there showed me and I’m looking forward to a wonderful time this year as well. Hopefully, I can leave this time with the trophy.”
Speaking about Tsitsipas joining the event, CEO of the event said: “I want to reiterate that getting the greatest players in the world to play in Abu Dhabi is always our top priority; Stefanos is another of the next generation of players emerging in the race for the No.1 slot on the ATP Tour” said John Lickrish, CEO, Flash Entertainment.
“Stefanos Tsitsipas is, without a doubt, one of the most promising young stars in tennis having already accomplished so much despite being only 24. He won plenty of admirers when he reached the final here in 2019 and I’m sure the fans will love seeing him showcase his skills in Abu Dhabi once again.”
