After a successful debut season, the World Tennis League is returning to Abu Dhabi for its second season from 21 to 24 December at Etihad Arena on Yas Island. Season two of the 'greatest show on court' is assured of providing memorable moments for tennis and music enthusiasts. The teams, namely the Falcons, Hawks, Eagles, and Kites, will compete in a round-robin, with the top two teams contending in the final match.
With 16 elite male and female players hailing from various parts of the world, this intense competition will keep fans on the edge of their seats. Known as the 'greatest show on court', this distinctive blend of sports and entertainment will include three evenings of concerts featuring some of the world's leading music artists.
Acclaimed rapper and music icon 50 Cent will headline the opening night on 21 December. The award-winning superstars Akon and Ne-Yo will grace the stage with an 'R&B' night concert on 22 December. And on 23 December, UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, The Original Wailers featuring Al Anderson, and Trojan Sound System will take the stage for a 'Reggae Night'.
In terms of format, the players will be divided into four teams, and each day from the first to the third day will feature two matches. The categories encompass men's and women's singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. The finals, on 24 December, will see the top two teams competing for the championship title.
For those interested in both tennis matches and concerts, there's a hospitality package available, with prices starting at Dhs 1,499. If you're looking to attend the tennis matches only, the ticket price starts from Dhs 60.
