On Friday, as part of the World Tennis League, the Egyptian tennis superstar Mohamed Ramadan performed at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. He was outstanding.
The first-ever tournament is the most recent event to be added to Dubai’s already jam-packed winter calendar, and it has attracted a number of tennis and music celebrities to the emirate for the duration of the tournament’s first six days.
After great sets from Tiesto, Wizkid, Deadmau5, and Ne-Yo over the course of the previous several days, it was finally time for Ramadan to take the stage and play for the crowd.
His performance comprised well-known songs such as “Versace Baby,” “Number One,” and “Mafia,” and the performer took care to include allusions to the activity taking place on the court by gripping a tennis racket and dancing with it throughout his set.

Armin van Buuren, a Dutch DJ and producer, is scheduled to play on the last day of the competition, which takes place on Saturday.
The Coca-Cola Arena serves as the location for both the tennis matches and the concerts that take place after the matches. Those who are working on the event are given a short amount of time each night to change the tennis court into a venue for the concerts.
The general manager of Coca-Cola Arena, Mark Kar, said that the entertainment aspect of the event was just as vital as the athletic portion of the gathering.
You’ve probably seen how various sports have started to include music and other forms of entertainment as a way to celebrate an event, which is a wonderful development. “The success I’ve had in Formula One is evidence of it,” stated Kar.
“There has been a kind of shift in the way people think about sports as a result of the way highlights are delivered to us, particularly via social media and mobile phones. Tennis is certainly one of those sports that could need a little bit more of an X factor, in my view.
