The world No. 10 will join the likes of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev in the tournament.

This now means five of the world's top-10 players will be competing in the three-day event.

Five-time Grand Slam winner Maria Sharapova and teen sensation Amanda Anisimova are already part of the women’s lineup.

The 12th edition of the championship will run from 19-21 December at the International Tennis Centre at Zayed Sports City.
