Presented in recent days in Dubai (trained together with Aryna Sabalenko), Sorana Kirstea was invited to participate in the WTL after Canada’s Leila Fernandez (US Open 2021 finalist) withdrew.

Organizers of the competition in the United Arab Emirates say that it is “not just a tennis tournament, but a global phenomenon that is redefining the world of sports and entertainment year after year.”

After the concert in Abu Dhabi, the best artists will perform: 50 Cent (December 21), Akon & Ne-Yo (December 22), UB40, The Original Wailers and The Trojan Sound System (December 23).
