Two of the star attractions at this week’s Mubadala World Tennis Championship, which starts on December 19, have eased into Abu Dhabi action with a friendly game of foot-tennis at the International Tennis Centre, Zayed Sports City.

Rafael Nadal, the current World No.1, and 2017 Next Gen ATP Finals winner Hyeon Chung, exchanged volleys and jokes over the Mubadala World Tennis Championship net as they readied for the epic three-day tournament.

Ahead of Thursday’s opening matches, Nadal and Chung – who will meet in the Mubadala World Tennis Championship semi-finals if the Korean advances past Khachanov in Thursday’s second quarter-final – were also presented with personalised Al Jazira Football Club shirts by the UAE capital team’s goalkeeper, Ali Khaseif.
