Sports & Championship

The world’s leading women’s tennis players gathered this week for the annual WTA Players’ Party, a signature off-court highlight of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.

Held on the sidelines of the prestigious tournament, the event offered a relaxed yet elegant setting for players, organisers, partners and invited guests ahead of a week of elite competition at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium.

Top-ranked stars in attendance

Among those attending were World No. 4 Coco Gauff, new Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina, and rising teenage star Mirra Andreeva. They were joined by former Dubai champions, including Jasmine Paolini (2024) and Elina Svitolina (2017, 2018).

Set against an elegant garden backdrop, the evening allowed players to step away from match preparation and connect with fellow competitors and stakeholders in a calm and welcoming atmosphere ahead of the opening rounds.

Sport meets lifestyle

Dressed to impress, players posed for photographs, shared light-hearted moments and mingled with representatives from Dubai Duty Free and tournament partners, reinforcing the strong sense of community that continues to define the women’s event in Dubai.

The Arabian-chic inspired celebration featured a curated mix of live music and roaming entertainment, creating a vibrant yet intimate ambience throughout the venue. The evening reflected the tournament’s distinctive blend of world-class sport, lifestyle, and hospitality.

Now firmly established as a standout fixture on the social calendar, the WTA Players’ Party continues to showcase the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships’ ability to combine elite competition with memorable off-court experiences.

The WTA 1000 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships runs from February 15–21 at Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium and features 16 of the world’s top 20 and 35 of the world’s top 40 players. It will be followed by the ATP 500 men’s event from February 23–28.
