The line-up of the Mubadala World Tennis Championship is almost completed and another top player joined the event: Gael Monfils.
Currently ranked no.10, the entertaining Frenchman is a fans’ favorite and he will join a strong competition with the likes of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev.
Usually, 6 players compete in this event and therefore we are waiting for another announcement from the organization.
The organization had also the brilliant idea to add an exhibition match between Maria Sharapova and her “natural heir” Amanda Anisimova.
The event will take place on 19-21 December.
