Tournament Overview: Building on a Legacy of Success

The Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open has seen remarkable growth since becoming a permanent fixture on the WTA calendar. The previous edition in 2025 welcomed an elite field, featuring eight of the world’s top 20 players, and drew thousands of fans across its eight action-packed days.

Champions’ Corner: A Stunning Comeback Crowns the 2025 Field

The 2025 edition delivered a true storybook ending in the singles competition. Olympic gold medalist and inaugural champion, Belinda Bencic, made a stunning comeback from the birth of her first child to claim her second Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open title. In a gripping final, Bencic defeated the rising American star Ashlyn Krueger in a three-set battle (4–6, 6–1, 6–1), highlighting the incredible depth and competitive spirit of the WTA field.

In the doubles event, the powerful pairing of Jeļena Ostapenko and Ellen Perez captured the crown, defeating Kristina Mladenovic and Zhang Shuai with a decisive 6–2, 6–1 victory. These past champions—Bencic, Ostapenko, and Perez—represent the standard of excellence fans can expect as they look to defend their titles against a hungry 2026 field.

Looking Ahead to 2026

The draw size remains a compact and competitive one, offering players crucial matches and valuable ranking points early in the season. Fans can anticipate another week filled with dramatic upsets, breakout performances from rising stars, and compelling rivalries between the tour’s heavyweights, all vying for the coveted WTA 500 title.

The tournament’s significance extends beyond the court, serving as a powerful platform for community engagement. The event’s commitment to its legacy is clear, with the continuation of the Schools Programme set to engage thousands of students across the capital, actively encouraging youth participation in tennis and inspiring the next generation of players.
