US Open semi-finalist Pablo Carreno Busta was announced as the fourth player set to take part in this December’s Mubadala World Tennis Championship, the tournament announced on Monday.

The 26-year-old Spaniard, who has broken into the top-10 for the first time following his US Open exploits earlier this month, joins world No. 1 Rafael Nadal, No. 7 Dominic Thiem and No. 11 Milos Raonic in what is shaping up to be an exciting line-up for the Abu Dhabi showpiece.

Carreno Busta will be making his first appearance at the event that is scheduled to take place from December 28-30, 2017.

The Gijon-native is enjoying a breakthrough season where he picked up a third career title, in Estoril, and made his maiden Grand Slam semi-final in New York.

Carreno Busta also reached the quarter-finals at Roland Garros, the semi-finals at Indian Wells and the final of the Rio Open.

He also claimed his first ever victory against a top-10 player by defeating Raonic in the French Open fourth round in June.

Tickets for the landmark 10th edition of the MWTC are on sale at www.ticketmaster.ae and all Virgin Megastores across the UAE. For more information, visit: www.mubadalawtc.com.
