  • Best moment: Roger Federer of the Indian Aces is congratulated by his team mates after hitting the point of the tournament against UAE Royals' Novak Djokovic.

    The International Premier Tennis League is coming to Hamdan Sports Complex in Dubai this weekend with many of the world's top players expected to feature.

    -The IPTL comes to Dubai

    These are the top five moments in the competition so far:

    With the newly structured programme, it is magnificent to see legends of the game re-discover their old swagger. 2001 Wimbledon winner Goran Ivanisevic, playing for the UAE Royals, didn't look out of place against rival Patrick Rafter of Singapore Slammers in a game of full of determination and energy. 

    On his arrival to Delhi to play in the IPTL, Roger Federer is interviewed on court alongisde Novak Djokovic and Bollywood film star Aamir Khan. When asked who he wanted to choose as his partner for the game, Federer replies by saying 'the man with the muscles' – Aamir Khan. 

    French-man Gael Monfils catches the crowds' attention with an array of remarkable shots against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of Manila Mavericks.

    The Indian Aces have surged to the top of the IPTL standings ahead of this weekend's final round of games in Dubai. The 'Aces celebrated their win in New Dehli recently by dancing in front of a sell-out crowd. Gael Monfils led the siege with a collection of little shimmies that would have put the late Patrick Swayze out of a job. 

    And finally, the point of the tournament, as Indian Aces' Roger Federer rolls back the years and delivers a spectacular overhead shot against Novak Djokovic of UAE Royals.
