The World Tennis League is a non-ATP/WTA-affiliated exhibition mixed-gender team tennis tournament which is held annually in the United Arab Emirates.[1] The first edition was held at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai in December 2022.[2] The second edition and third edition were held at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi in December 2023[3] and 2024[4] respectively.

Format

The players are divided into four teams, each with four players (two men and two women). The four teams have been named Eagles, Falcons, Hawks and Kites. The teams play each other in a round-robin format, which since 2024 has consisted of a men’s singles, a women’s singles, and two doubles matches, which may include men's doubles, women's doubles, or mixed doubles. Following the round-robin phase, the top two teams face off in the final.[5]
