Federer and Nadal will kick off 2010 season at Abu Dhabi

What will you do around New Year? Work? Partying? Or a bit of both? Six of the ATP players will participate at the Capitala World Tennis Championship at Abu Dhabi from 31 Dec 09 to 2 Jan 10.
The six contenders are 09 Year ended No.1 Roger Federer, No.2 Rafael Nadal, ATP World Tour Finals Champion Nikolay Davydenko; along with Swede Robin Soderling, French Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka. Last year’s winner Andy Murray will not play in this tournament.
The players will compete in a single elimination series of matches with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer being granted the top two seeds and therefore being given a bye from first day matches. Semi-Final matches will take place on day 2 with the final and consolation (3rd & 4th place) matches taking place on Saturday.
