If you want excitement and suspense, combined with watching many of the greatest sports stars in the world, then you need to go no further than the Dubai Tennis Championships. Owned and organized by Dubai Duty Free, the tournament takes place at the Dubai Tennis Stadium from the 19th February to the 3rd March 2007.
Seeing the stars you usually only see competing on television up-close is always special, and nearly every household name has taken part in the tournament since it began 15 years ago. Boris Becker, Ivan Lendl, Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, Goran Ivanisevic, Maria Sharapova, Martina Hingis, Serena Williams, Justine Henin, Lindsay Davenport, Monica Seles the list of champions goes on and on.
And 2007 will continue the tradition with an all-star cast confirmed for the award-winning Dubai Duty Free Men's and Women's Opens.
Play begins with the Dubai Duty Free Women's Open on February 19th with defending champion Justine Henin and world number one Maria Sharapova headlining the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour event, and continues on February 26th when Spain's Rafael Nadal begins his title defence alongside three-time former champion and World No.1 Roger Federer.
A record 125,000 people attended last year and not one of them went away disappointed after witnessing many of the world's top stars playing at the highest level.
This year has once again seen frenzied interest in the Men's and Women's Opens, with tickets selling out fast.
