UAE. Dubai Duty Free Executive Vice President for Corporate Services and Tournament Director of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship Salah Tahlak has been re-elected for the fourth time as a Member of the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) International Group Council.
An ATP Global Tournament Council member since 2010, Tahlak is the only Arab national to be re-elected for four consecutive terms.
“This is a great honour, and I am proud to represent Dubai Duty Free, Dubai and the UAE, as well as the wider Arab region in the world of tennis,” Tahlak said. “I look forward to working closely with my fellow council members in the years to come.”
Dubai Duty Free Executive Vice Chairman & CEO Colm McLoughlin commented: “On behalf of Dubai Duty Free, I want to congratulate Salah on his recent re-election as a Council Member of the ATP International Group, and we will continue to support him and all the future activities of the ATP.”

Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, will mark its 28th anniversary next year with the tournament taking place from 17 to 19 February 2020 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium.
