All you need to know about prize money of World Tennis League 2024

The World Tennis League is now in its third edition.

The World Tennis League 2024 is currently being played at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. The previous two editions of the exhibition event were hosted by the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai (2022) and the Etihad Arena (2023). The event marks the unofficial end to the 2024 tennis calendar.  

The latest edition of the World Tennis League has four teams, with some of the biggest names in the sport participating in the event. The Eagles, Falcons, Hawks, and Kites are the four teams vying for the trophy. Each team has four players, and they will play each other once in a round-robin format.

The League relies on the following format—In each face-off, a men’s singles, a women’s singles and two doubles sets (men’s, women’s or mixed doubles) will be played. A first-to-ten-point super shootout will follow should the scores be tied.

The top teams who have won the highest number of games advance to the final on December 22. Each team has a star performer capable of carrying the day. Sixteen players from the WTA and ATP tours have signed up for the event. 

The Eagles will rely on Iga Swiatek and a resurgent Paula Badosa to pull their weight. Joining them are Stefanos Tsitsipas, a former top 10 player, and Alexander Shevchenko. Among the Falcons are Elena Rybakina and Andrey Rublev, both players to watch out for. Denis Shapovalov and Caroline Garcia provide additional firepower to the group.

Coming to the Hawks, they have newly crowned WTA World No. #1 Aryna Sabalenka in their ranks, accompanied by rising WTA star Mirra Andreeva. India’s Sumit Nagal and doubles specialist Australian Jordan Thompson complete the group.
