Dallas Open now on 2022 ATP calendar

Dallas resident John Isner is confident the tournament, unlike other domestic ATP 250s, will have serious staying power in the tennis-loving city.

Published May 21, 2021

Professional tennis will return to Dallas, Texas for the first time since 1989. The city has hosted one of the longest running and most successful ATP Challenger events at the T Bar M Racquet Club, but now the world’s premier players will head to the Lone Star State for an official ATP tournament—the first in the city’s history.

The Dallas Open will replace the New York Open—which struggled to draw fans during its three year tenure—on the tennis calendar. Dallas resident John Isner is not only excited to play in his newly adopted home state, but also has high hopes for the future of the event.

Awesome having 41 out for the event. The dude loves tennis. Going to be a fantastic event next February https://t.co/MR42zCPkMD

“In my opinion I think Dallas is the perfect city to host an event of this magnitude,” Isner said. “I obviously live here, I’m still playing pretty well, and I would have been pretty sad if this event had chosen elsewhere.”

Domestic ATP 250s have a history of coming and going. In addition to the New York Open, tournaments in San Jose and Memphis have disappeared from the calendar in recent years. But Isner believes the Dallas Open will have staying power.

“I’ve said this a bunch, but the temperature of the town for the sport of tennis is really high. I don’t get recognized very often, but it seems to happen all the time in Dallas. This tournament has a great spot on the calendar, the people love their tennis, and I have no doubt this tournament will have a lot of staying power.”

The event will take place indoors at SMU’s state of the art Altec/Styslinger Tennis Center from February 6-13.
