World no.1 Novak Djokovic will be bidding for a fifth crown in seven years (2009-11, 2013) at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships (February 23-28).
It will be Novak’s ninth appearance at the ATP World Tour 500 event, one of the most popular tournaments on the international tennis circuit.
Four of the top 10 men are in the field. Along with the top-seeded Serb, a stellar line-up also features defending champion Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Tomas Berdych.
Last year, Novak lost to Roger Federer in the semi-finals (6-3, 3-6, 2-6). The Belgrade native has a 30-4 record at the tournament.
The main singles draw for the 2015 edition will be held on February 21.
