Entry List ATP Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships 2025 featuring Daniil Medvedev, Alex De Minaur and Jack Draper

Thursday, 30 January 2025 at 01:30

The Entry List for the 2025 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships has been confirmed. The ATP 500 tournament will take place from February 24 to March 1, 2025, at the Aviation Club Tennis Centre on outdoor hard courts and will feature up to nine top-20 stars.

The draw will be headlined by 2023 champion Daniil Medvedev (No. 7), who will aim to reclaim the title and build confidence ahead of the Sunshine Double, starting with Indian Wells in the first week of March. The tournament marks the end of the ATP’s Middle East Swing.

Medvedev and Rublev to lead the main draw

A tournament once dominated by 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer—who won it eight times—and Novak Djokovic—who claimed five titles—has not featured either player in recent years. However, several top names from the current ATP Tour will compete.

Three former champions are in the draw, two of whom will be seeded, including Andrey Rublev and defending champion Ugo Humbert. Additionally, 2019 champion Roberto Bautista Agut could join the field as he appears as the first alternate.

The spotlight will be on the top seeds, led by Medvedev (No. 7) and Rublev (No. 10). Also standing out is world No. 8 Alex de Minaur, a recent Australian Open quarterfinalist, and Grigor Dimitrov (No. 11), who suffered an injury in his first tournament of the year that forced him to withdraw but is expected to compete in both Doha and Dubai in the final two weeks of February.
