GET READY TO \u2018PLAY. CELEBRATE. REPEAT\u2019 AT THE 2025 MGM
MACAU TENNIS MASTERS<\/h3>


<\/b>LI NA AND CONCHITA MART\u00cdNEZ HEADLINE A BOLD
CELEBRATION OF TENNIS, FESTIVITY AND WOMEN POWER<\/b><\/h4>

[4 November 2025, Macau]<\/b> - The MGM Macau Tennis Masters has quickly become one of Macau\u2019s most anticipated festive season highlights. Returning for its third edition on 27 and 28 December 2025, the tournament will once again bring world-class tennis and spectacular entertainment to the dazzling Macao Forum.<\/p>

For the first time, two female legends will lead the teams \u2014 Li Na and Conchita Mart\u00ednez. Grand Slam champions, and International Tennis Hall of Famers, Li Na and Conchita Mart\u00ednez are ready to battle for victory in a contest that celebrates excellence, rivalry and the spirit of the game.<\/p>

\u201cWhen we first brought professional tennis to Macau three years ago, we knew this city had something special \u2014 and the response from fans has been incredible. The MGM Macau Tennis Masters has become part of the city\u2019s festive DNA \u2014 a celebration of sport, friendship, and energy,\u201d said Luiz Carvalho, Tournament Director and Mari Group Senior Vice President of Tennis Events.<\/p>

\u201cWelcoming Li Na back as captain is an honor \u2014 she remains one of the most admired figures in global tennis. And with Conchita Mart\u00ednez joining for the first time, we look forward to an even more dynamic and entertaining edition of the event.\u201d<\/p>

This year\u2019s edition of the MGM Macau Tennis Masters will shine a spotlight on two vibrant themes. The first theme of \u201cPlay. Celebrate. Repeat.\u201d sets the tone for a festive, lifestyle-driven event that blends world-class tennis with Macau\u2019s holiday magic, brought to life through engaging fan zones and off-court experiences. Meanwhile, the second theme of \u201cWomen Power\u201d draws inspiration from the all-female captain line-up and will feature special sessions that offer fans a closer look at the stories and strengths of women in sport. Further details of these themed experiences will be revealed in the coming weeks.<\/p>

The two-day team event will feature a series of fast-paced, best-of-three-set matches, with a champions tiebreak to decide the final set. Day One will include a Captain\u2019s Challenge, two men\u2019s singles and a mixed doubles match, while Day Two will feature another Captain\u2019s Challenge, alongside one women\u2019s singles and two men\u2019s singles match, as well as the concluding Awards Ceremony.<\/p>

Among the rising and established stars joining the 2025 line-up are Mirra Andreeva, Alexandra Eala, Jerry Shang, Jack Draper and Jakub Men\u0161\u00edk. The final ATP player will be announced in the coming weeks, while team rosters, including which players will play under each captain, will be revealed in the lead-up to the event.<\/p>

\u201cLast year we had a great time and it\u2019s going to be equally entertaining this time. Everybody is competitive and having all these great players will make things very exciting,\u201d Li said.<\/p>

\u201cMy team did not win the last time, so I am going to be even more determined to change things this year. I never played against Conchita, but I am ready to take her on in Macau \u2013 captain against captain. Conchita has done a great job coaching Mirra Andreeva, but maybe I should try and get Mirra on my team. That will be an interesting turn of events.\u201d<\/p>

Eighteen-year-old Mirra Andreeva has enjoyed a meteoric rise on the WTA Tour to reach a career-high ranking of World No. 5 this season. The in-form teen sensation captured titles at Indian Wells and Dubai, defeating world-class opponents including Iga \u015awi\u0105tek and Aryna Sabalenka along the way. Her consistency has been remarkable, with quarterfinal runs at Roland Garros, Wimbledon, Rome, Madrid, and Bad Homburg, marking her as one of the sport\u2019s brightest young stars.<\/p>

Meanwhile, Filipina talent Alexandra Eala has enjoyed a breakout season that has captured global attention. The 20-year-old, who trains at the Rafa Nadal Academy, claimed her maiden WTA 125K title in Guadalajara and reached the final in Eastbourne. Her fearless run to the Miami semifinals saw her dispatch top names such as Jelena Ostapenko, Madison Keys, Paula Badosa, and \u015awi\u0105tek in consecutive matches \u2014 cementing her reputation as one of the most exciting new faces in women\u2019s tennis.<\/p>

China\u2019s Jerry Shang returns to the MGM Macau Tennis Masters for a second consecutive year. The 20-year-old lefthander recently returned to the tour after recovering from foot surgery earlier in the year and is excited to pick up from where he left off. Shang made history as the only Chinese male player to win an ATP title on home soil, following his triumph at the 2024 Chengdu Open, and remains one of Asia\u2019s most promising young stars.<\/p>

Britain\u2019s Jack Draper \u2013 affectionately known as \u201cJD\u201d or \u201cDrapes\u201d \u2013 has been on a tear this season, capturing the biggest title of his career at Indian Wells. En route to victory, he defeated Carlos Alcaraz, Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz, and Holger Rune in an electrifying display of power and composure. Draper also reached finals in Madrid and Doha, and advanced to the Round of 16 at both the Australian Open and Roland Garros, reinforcing his status as one of the most dangerous left-handers on tour.<\/p>

Towering at 196cm, Czech rising star Jakub Men\u0161\u00edk has enjoyed a stellar season that saw him achieve a career-high ranking of World No. 16. The 20-year-old\u2019s highlight came at the Miami Open, where he stunned Novak Djokovic in the final to claim his first Masters 1000 title, defeating Fritz and Draper along the way. Men\u0161\u00edk\u2019s strong all-court game also earned him quarterfinal finishes in Beijing, Eastbourne, Madrid, Auckland, and Brisbane, confirming his place among tennis\u2019s next generation of heavy-hitters.<\/p>

Co-organised by MGM and MARI Group, the \u201c2025 MGM Macau Tennis Masters\u201d is honoured to have the support of the Sports Bureau of Macao SAR Government, Macao Government Tourism Office, and the Macau Tennis Association, together with our distinguished partners, including the official outfitter FILA, official airline Eva Air and the official water Bonaqua.<\/p>
