Need for speed! Badosa, Dimitrov, Rybakina, Sabalenka and Sinner among stars at Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

Sinner, meanwhile, held the checkered flag as British driver Lando Norris crossed the finish line first as race winner, and visited with the Ferrari box.

But the world No. 1s weren't the only tennis players who traded the court for the track this weekend. Also present in Abu Dhabi were Paula Badosa, Sorana Cirstea, Grigor Dimitrov and Elena Rybakina, who each enjoyed their own unique experiences at the venue.
