Pros flock to Middle East as preseason training heats up

For normal folks the holiday season is just heating up, but for pros, their vacations are nearing an end. It seems the ATP & WTA have ripped a page out of Roger Federer’s book. The Swiss famously trains in the sweltering Dubai heat during his off-season.

Here are some of the pros that have arrived in the desert to sweat it out ahead of 2020:

Stefanos Tsitsipas

Gael Monfils

Kristina Mladenovic

Elina Svitolina

Even the retired Agnieszka Radwanksa wanted in on the action.

At least Tsitsipas looks like he's still in vacation mode.
