Abu Dhabi Open 2025 will take place from February 1 to 8.
The Abu Dhabi Open begins the Middle East swing in 2025, preceding the WTA 1000 events in Doha and Dubai. Elena Rybakina, who defeated Daria Kasatkina to win the championship, is the current Abu Dhabi champion. In February, the area hosts three events, including the WTA 500. Jasmine Paolini won the Dubai Open, and Iga Swiatek is the owner of the Qatar Open trophy.
Rybakina might face Belinda Bencic, the 2023 champion, in the semi-finals. The Kazakh must first overcome Katie Boulter, who has significantly improved. Ons Jabeur and Jelena Ostapenko are in the background, ready to challenge Rybakina in a possible round of eight matchups.
Kazakhstan’s World No. 5 is up against it after finishing the 2024 season with little distinction. Rybakina had already won the Brisbane International and was headed to Abu Dhabi to win the title at this time last year.
Daria Kasatkina (3) and Paula Badosa (2) complete the top three seeds and will amuse tennis fans in the bottom half of the draw. In addition to making notable progress in the WTA rankings, Badosa and Kasatkina made a comeback to the winner’s circle in 2024. For the first time since October 2022, Badosa made a comeback to the top 10. Kastakina, who is presently rated No. 11, nearly made it. As recently as October 2024, Kastakina, a Russian, was in the top 10.
