DRAW Abu Dhabi Open 2025 headlined by Elena Rybakina, Paula Badosa, Daria Kasatkina and Emma Raducanu
WTA
The draw has been confirmed for the next WTA 500 of the season which takes place between February 3-8, 2025 in the form of the Abu Dhabi Open headlined by Elena Rybakina, Paula Badosa, Daria Kasatkina and Emma Raducanu.
Rybakina has a pretty simple start as such as she has a bye then faces a qualifier in the second round. Then she sits in the section that features a standout tie between Ons Jabeur and Jelena Ostapenko.
Paula Badosa is second seed after her semi-final run at the 2025 Australian Open. She faces either Linda Noskova or Magdalena Frech. Third seed and the master of WTA 500 tournaments, Daria Kasatkina opens up against either a qualifier or Ashlyn Krueger.
Yulia Putintseva is fourth seed and could face Emma Raducanu or Marketa Vondrousova in a landmark battle of former major champions who perhaps haven't kicked on since their triumphs.
Other ties to watch include Leylah Fernandez v Ekaterina Alexandrova, Caroline Garcia v Lulu Sun as well as Belinda Bencic v Rebecca Sramkova.
The Abu Dhabi Open was first introduced in 2021 as a temporary event due to the pandemic-adjusted schedule but returned in 2023 as a permanent fixture on the WTA calendar. Played on outdoor hard courts, the tournament attracts top players and has quickly become a key stop in the Middle Eastern swing of the season. Notable champions include Aryna Sabalenka, who won the inaugural edition, and Belinda Bencic, who claimed the title in 2023.

- "So while perhaps the big issue of having to wait for a call-up is there, so is the coaching carousel. .." Well, there you go. Emma's 'career' in one precise sentence. Sponsors bailing-out on her will follow (so far, only Porsche and Dior).
mandoist02-02-2025 - Typical narcissistic cynicism of Kyrgios! Very rarely has a decent word to say about anything. He's abusive, jeeringly loud and obnoxious. He needs to be officially called out by both the ATP and ITF for using foul language in public spaces such as social media. The guy's a vampiric hoon who sucks the lifeblood out of tennis by trying to bolster popularity of the good-for-nothing bad boy image. I once admired Kyrgios for his previous good-willed willingness to get honest help for his mental health issues but that all went down the drain once he figured he could reel money in through publicity stunts using the negativity of his problems in such a way as to declare them 'no longer problems' but something which he could become more entangled in just to boost an anti-hero image. Shame on him for turning his back on common human decency and good-willed fraternity. Instead he opts to make a 'hero' out of villany. I'm sorry Nick but u are only doing more harm to yourself in the long run by trying to serve up a bad name for the sport you claim to so proudly represent. Get real mate, tennis is not for hoons, neither is hoon-behaviour the hallmark of sporting integrity. It's an utter disgrace!

- Whoever wrote this is clearly lacking in tennis knowledge! Indian Wells and Miami are 128 draws, therefore Emma will have direct entry with her current ranking. Please do some fact checking or research before showing your ignorance like this!Lyca30-01-2025
