Dubai Tennis Championships: Full list of title winners

Roger Federer has won the most number of titles in Dubai.

The Dubai Tennis Championships is a professional tennis tournament, owned and organized by Dubai Duty Free. The competition is held annually in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on outdoor hardcourts, and is currently listed as a WTA 1000 on the WTA Tour and an ATP 500 on the ATP Tour.

The tournament takes place at the end of February, under the patronage of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. In 2001 the ATP upgraded the tournament from an ATP 250-level to the more prestigious ATP 500-level tournament.

On the WTA Tour, it alternated yearly between a WTA 1000-level tournament and a WTA 500-level tournament, until 2024, when it remained a WTA 1000 event from the prior year.

The inaugural ATP men’s tournament was won in 1993 by Karel Novacek, who was ranked world No. 23 at the time. The inaugural WTA women’s tournament debuted in 2001 as a Premier tournament and was won by Martina Hingis.

For five years, Roger Federer on the men’s side and Justine Henin on the women’s side dominated the singles tournaments. Between 2003 and 2007, Federer and Henin each won the singles title four times. However, in 2008, neither player managed to reach the finals, Andy Roddick and Elena Dementieva became the new champions.

In 2005, the Dubai Tennis Championships implemented the same prize money policy, becoming the third professional tennis event to do so after the US Open and Australian Open.

Federer leads the pack for most titles won in Dubai with 8. Henin and Venus Williams are the joint-most record holders for the most number of trophies won by a women’s singles player at the Championships. Meanwhile, in men’s doubles, India’s Mahesh Bhupathi stands as the most successful player, having secured five titles.
