A World-Class Venue for International Tennis

The National Tennis Centre is designed to meet ATP, WTA, and ITF standards, placing it among the most advanced tennis centres in the world. It signals Saudi Arabia’s ambition to become a significant and permanent presence on the international tennis circuit.

ITF CEO, Ross Hutchins said: “The National Tennis Centre at Qiddiya City is precisely the kind of transformative investment that the ITF has long championed as essential to the sustainable growth of our sport around the world. Quality facilities are the cornerstone of every successful national tennis programme – they create pathways for players, empower coaches, and provide opportunities for people who might otherwise never pick up a racket. We look forward to seeing Qiddiya City working alongside the Saudi Tennis Federation to grow the game in Saudi Arabia.”

Eno Polo, CEO of ATP, said: “The National Tennis Centre at Qiddiya City is a remarkable addition to the global tennis landscape. As the largest tennis facility of its kind in the region, it reflects a bold vision for the future of tennis and a commitment to creating more opportunities for people to engage with our sport, whether as players, fans or members of the wider community.

“Facilities of this scale and quality play an important role in the continued growth of tennis. By providing a world-class stage for competition alongside opportunities for participation at all levels, the National Tennis Centre has the potential to make a lasting impact on the sport across the region for years to come.”

Mohammed Al Sarrah, President of the Saudi Tennis Federation said, “The Saudi Tennis Federation welcomes the launch of the National Tennis Centre at Qiddiya City, which represents an important addition to the Kingdom’s sporting infrastructure and a positive step for the continued growth of tennis in Saudi Arabia. The Federation hopes that the Centre will contribute to increasing participation in the sport, supporting the development of local talent, and inspiring the next generation of Saudi tennis players.”
