World No 1s Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek will headline a new tennis tournament in Dubai in December. The World Tennis League will feature the best men's and women's players playing two-set matches across both singles and mixed doubles matches, with 10-point tie-breakers set to decide the final outcome if needed.

The tournament will be held at Dubai's Coca-Cola Arena from December 19-24. Joining the men’s field are Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios and former world No 2 Alexander Zverev.

From the women’s field, former world No 1 Simona Halep and Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina add to a world-class line-up of tennis talent.

A player lottery will be held on November 1, where the 16-player line-up will be split into four teams of four players each, and a Round Robin format for matches across the tournament.
