More top stars join Tie Break Tens Dubai

US singles ace, Taylor Fritz, and German crowd favourite, Dustin Brown, are the latest players to be announced for the Tie Break Tens Dubai (TB10s) tennis tournament. The first time this exciting tennis concept has visited the Middle East, the tournament will take place at the Coca-Cola Arena in City Walk on October 22.

Fritz and Brown join French ace Gael Monfils, and British No 1 Dan Evans in the line-up, with further big names set to be confirmed shortly.

At only 23, Taylor Fritz has already enjoyed an impressive career. In 2019, aged 21, he became the youngest American in the top 25 in the rankings since Andy Roddick in 2004. In the same year, he won the Eastbourne International on grass in straight sets against Sam Querrey. In 2021, he became the top-ranked American men’s player in the ATP rankings list.

Dustin Brown, nicknamed ‘Dreddy’ because of his dreadlocks, is a great favourite with crowds for his entertaining style of play and frequent use of trick shots. He is also one of only two players who can claim a 100 per cent win record against Rafael Nadal — he won against the formidable Nadal in the

2014 Halle Open and again at Wimbledon in 2015. Dustin

plays both singles and doubles, and has won 24 titles overall in his career.

Gael Monfils and Taylor Fritz will challenge esports Fifa Champion, Musaed Al Dossary, in an epic battle on the ZONE Play platform. Al Dossary is a globally recognised professional Fifa player, and winner of the world championship in 2018, the Xbox world championship in 2019, and was elected Esports player of the year in 2018.

“We’re really excited to have these great new additions to the two fantastic players already signed up for TBT10s Dubai,” said Adi K Mishra, Founder and CEO of Zone, lead sponsor of the Tie Break Tens Dubai.
