The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship is an ATP 500 event running from February 21st till February 26th with some stellar players in attendance like world number one Novak Djokovic.
Novak Djokovic released a statement on his website confirming he will make his return to tennis at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship in Dubai and it will be the first time he steps on a court officially in 2022. The Serbian was in Australia and practised in the Rod Laver Arena but never got the chance to play a match there. Joining him in Dubai are several notable tennis players.
