ATP Draw released for Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships: Djokovic to return against Musetti in top tie

The draw has been released ahead of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships which will feature the return of Novak Djokovic to action after his hiatus following the Australian Open saga.

No vaccination is needed to enter Dubai which has led to the World Number One making his return in the UAE. He will play in the ATP 500 tournament starting against Lorenzo Musetti.

Musetti famously led Djokovic at the French open and it looked like a shock was on the cards at one point.

Other top names involved include Andrey Rublev playing Dan Evans, Jannik Sinner taking on Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Denis Shapovalov facing Marton Fucsovics and Felix Auger-Aliassime who could yet win in Marseille this weekend facing Nikoloz Basilashvili.

Andy Murray is also in action after taking multiple wildcards during the Middle East swing.
