Canadian tennis sensation Denis Shapovalov is set to light up the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi at the highly anticipated World Tennis League 2024. This star-studded event, featuring big names like Nick Kyrgios and World No. 1 Iga Swiatek, will serve as a thrilling finale to the 2024 tennis season before the players transition into the new year.
The competition kicks off on December 19 and runs until December 22, following a round-robin-cum-knockout format. Four teams—Eagles, Falcons, Hawks, and Kites—will vie for the championship, with each tie featuring men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, and either women’s or mixed doubles, decided by a coin toss.
Shapovalov, part of Team Falcons, will join forces with Andrey Rublev, Elena Rybakina, and Caroline Garcia. While all four players had a challenging 2024 season, the Canadian left-hander aims to end the year on a high note. Known for his explosive style and dazzling shot-making, Shapovalov is sure to bring excitement to the court.
Other teams boast equally impressive line-ups. Iga Swiatek leads Team Eagles, alongside Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa. World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka headlines Team Hawks, which includes rising star Mirra Andreeva. Meanwhile, Team Kites features Nick Kyrgios, Grand Slam finalist Casper Ruud, and former World No. 1 Simona Halep.
The action-packed event promises electrifying matchups, with the final showdown scheduled for December 22. For tennis fans and Shapovalov supporters, the World Tennis League 2024 is an unmissable spectacle to close out the year.
