The story

World Tennis League in Abu Dhabi

World Tennis League brought elite ATP and WTA players, including Daniil Medvedev, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina, to Etihad Arena on Yas Island during its early seasons in Abu Dhabi, pairing a four-team, mixed-gender round-robin tennis format with live concerts under a Sportainment branding, before a later season moved to Bengaluru, India.

Four teams named Eagles, Falcons, Hawks and Kites, each fielding two men and two women, compete in a round-robin format pairing men's singles, women's singles and two doubles matches, a mixed-gender team structure that separates World Tennis League from the sport's usual single-gender tour events entirely.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Structuring competition around four fixed, mixed-gender teams, Eagles, Falcons, Hawks and Kites, rather than the sport's usual individual player draw, gives World Tennis League a team-sport format genuinely unusual in professional tennis

02

The mystery stays covered

Integrating live performances by global music icons directly into the tennis schedule under its own "Sportainment" branding also distinguishes it from a conventional tournament that treats entertainment as separate side programming rather than part of the core format
