The WPT Abu Dhabi Master 2023 (officially WPT Modon Abu Dhabi Padel Master 2023) was the first tournament of the eleventh edition of the World Padel Tour. It was held between February 18 and 26, 2023, at the Bab Al Nojoum on Hudayriat Island in Abu Dhabi. It was the first WPT tournament to award 2,000 ranking points to each player in the winning pairs, as previously, victories in Master tournaments awarded 1,700 points.
In the women's division, Ariana Sánchez and Paula Josemaría defeated Alejandra Salazar and Gemma Triay in the finals, thus regaining the number 1 ranking they lost in the 2022 Master Final which had prevented them from finishing the year as such.
In the men's division, the new young pair formed by Agustín Tapia and Arturo Coello showed that they could aspire to reach the top, beating the number one ranked team in the finals, Alejandro Galán and Juan Lebrón, who still had a large points advantage in the ranking.
