As the top seed, Dominic Thiem will headline a strong field at next week’s Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.
The World No. 4, who fell in the first round to Roberto Bautista Agut on his last visit to the tournament in 2015, will be attempting to capture his first ATP 500 title since the 2019 Erste Bank Open in Vienna. Thiem owns 17 tour-level crowns, including six at ATP 500-level.
Andrey Rublev, who has lifted the trophy at his past four ATP 500 events, 2018 champion Bautista Agut and Denis Shapovalov round out the top four seeding positions in the Dubai draw.
David Goffin, 2016 Dubai titlist Stan Wawrinka, Alex de Minaur, 2019 Next Gen ATP Finals champion Jannik Sinner and Kei Nishikori will also compete in the United Arab Emirates.
