The Abu Dhabi Open is a recent addition to the WTA calendar, played at the International Tennis Centre at Zayed Sports City, and has been upgraded in category since its first editions.
No attendance figure is collected in this pass.
Its position is the Gulf's women's fortnight: Abu Dhabi, then Doha or Dubai, in the weeks between the Australian Open and Indian Wells, when the tour needs hard courts in reliable weather.
For a visitor the confusion to avoid is with the Dubai championships a short drive and a fortnight away. Two separate WTA events in the same country within three weeks, in different emirates, with separate ticketing.
PlanningA February window; distinct from the Dubai women's week a fortnight later.
