The tournament forms part of Al Habtoor Group's ongoing commitment to community engagement and is organised in close and longstanding collaboration with the UAE Tennis Federation. The initiative aims to promote tennis, broaden participation among both men and women, nurture emerging talent and raise playing standards, while providing a pathway for new talent to emerge and strengthen the UAE national teams, with the ambition of representing the country with distinction at international competitions.

Al Habtoor Group places great importance on this championship and has traditionally organised it alongside the Al Habtoor Tennis Challenge, the Group's international women's tennis tournament. The local championship continues to attract considerable interest from both UAE nationals and residents, reflecting its growing popularity and importance on the UAE sporting calendar.
