The 2026 edition of the Abu Dhabi Open has wrapped. The recap, full results and dates for the 2027 edition are below.
The conditions
Hard court is the global default — medium-paced, true-bouncing, and tactically neutral. Form, fitness and serve quality usually decide who goes deep here, more than surface preference.
Hard-court specialists and the very top seeds tend to dominate events of this kind. The week’s pace and bounce will favour those who arrive with rhythm — watch the warm-up events on the same surface for an early read on form.
