Tennis Greats at Zayed Sports Center

A few weeks ago we (Joey, me, Nadine and Wissam) got tickets to the Mubadala World Tennis Championships at the Zayed Sports Center here in Abu Dhabi.  The New Year's Eve weather was a little chilly, but the crowd was amazing!  So much positive energy.  Tennis fans really are a classy bunch.
There was even a juggler!!
Lots of energy at the 2nd match!
Little disappointed with the lack of intensity.
Serbian superstar (so i'm told, since I hadn't really followed tennis before...) and number one in the world rankings, Novak Djokovic, continued his dominant form by securing his debut victory in the UAE by defeating Spain's world number five, David Ferrer in two sets, 6-2, 6-1.  While third place went to world number two, Rafael Nadal, who overcame close rival Roger Federer, also in two sets 6-1, 7-5.
Gorgeous sunset over the Zayed Stadium.
