Nadal

Rafa has won the title already twice in 2009 and 2011. The King of Clay commented “A new season is a new opportunity for success and I am looking forward to getting started in Abu Dhabi on December 31st.

The Mubadala World Tennis Championship is an event I always enjoy and it’s great to be returning to action with the world’s top players in the UAE capital.

I’m happy to see new faces entering the tournament this year which shows it continues to grow and offer a new challenge for us players. I’m looking forward to spending time with the local crowds, they are always very supportive.”

Raonic

This is the first time that Raonic participates to the MWTC to comment I’m really looking forward to it that’s for sure. The line-up for the Mubadala World Tennis Championship is always extremely strong and I’ve heard nothing but good things from the guys on the tour who have been there before. For me it will be my first time in Abu Dhabi so it’s going to be a new experience and I’ll be on the lookout for the Canadian flags in the stands for support,”

Raonic has just won his 7th career title after winning the tournament in St. Petersburg.
