“As a former junior player myself, it’s amazing to witness the world of sport and entertainment coming together. I am even ready to dust-off my tennis racquet and jump on-court should a substitute be needed!”, added Mark Jan Kar.

The WTL will bring a true fusion of international talent to the centre court at Coca-Cola Arena in an incredible sporting and music extravaganza. The six-day event will be headlined by reigning Wimbledon champions Novak Djokovic and Elena Rybakina, women’s World No. 1 Iga Świątek, Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios and Indian icons Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna.

The league’s format entails 16 players in four teams competing in a round-robin style tournament. The grand finale of the tournament will be held on Christmas Eve, 24 December 2022, with the winners being crowned champions of the inaugural World Tennis League. Each session will feature a men’s and women’s singles match, as well as a mixed doubles showdown consisting of two sets and a tiebreak (if necessary).

Scott Davidoff, CEO of World Tennis League, said: “The World Tennis League is unlike any other tennis event in the world, as it not only gives spectators the opportunity to see many household names that they might have only ever seen before on television, but then to party into the night with world famous music acts.”

 “The blending of great tennis and top music acts is an unbeatable combination and those who purchase tickets for the unparalleled event are guaranteed an experience they won’t forget,” added Davidoff.
