The '''Atlanta Open''' was a professional men's [[tennis]] tournament that was played in the [[Atlanta]] area in the [[United States]] from 2010 to 2024, usually during July or August. The tournament was played on outdoor hard courts as part of the [[United States Tennis Association|USTA]]'s [[US Open Series]], the seven-week summer season lead-up to the [[U.S. Open (tennis)|U.S. Open]]. The Atlanta Open was known as the ''Atlanta Tennis Championships'' for its first two years before signing BB&T as a title sponsor in 2012. In 2015, the tournament was acquired by GF Sports from its then-owners, the USTA.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbtatlantaopen.com/news/from_memphis_to_atlanta_the_reemergence_of_american_tennis|title=From Memphis to Atlanta: The Reemergence of American Tennis|website=www.bbtatlantaopen.com|date=September 20, 2022 }}</ref>
The '''Indianapolis Tennis Championships''' (formerly known as the '''RCA Championships''') was an annual men's tennis tournament played in [[Indianapolis]] as part of the [[Association of Tennis Professionals|ATP Tour]]. It was held for one week in July up until 2009. The tournament was held for the first time in 1988 as the U.S. Men's Hardcourt Championships. It was created after the Indianapolis Sports Center decided to resurface its 18 clay courts with Deco-Turf II, the same surface as the [[US Open (tennis)|US Open]]. As a consequence, the [[U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships]] was moved from Indianapolis to [[Charleston, South Carolina]].


The event was removed from the [[2025 ATP Tour#Schedule|2025 calendar]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=2025 ATP Tour calendar unveiled featuring enhanced top-tier events {{!}} ATP Tour {{!}} Tennis |url=http://www.atptour.com/en/news/2025-atp-tour-calendar-announced |access-date=22 March 2024 |website=ATP Tour}}</ref>
The tournament's change in surface and name came with a change of date to be closer to the start of the US Open. The event gained the attention of the world's best players and became a premier warm-up stop for the US Open.


==History==
The tournament will no longer be played in Indianapolis. A new tournament in Atlanta will replace it from 2010.
In 2009, the [[Association of Tennis Professionals]] purchased the license for the tournament in [[Indianapolis Tennis Championships|Indianapolis]] because of low ticket sales and a struggle to attract top players.<ref name=WTHR>{{cite web|title=Tennis Championships sold to Atlanta group|url=http://www.wthr.com/global/story.asp?s=11624787|publisher=WTHR.com|access-date=2010-01-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629132010/http://www.wthr.com/global/story.asp?s=11624787|archive-date=2011-06-29|url-status=dead}}</ref> In December 2009 it was announced that the ATP had sold the license to a group in [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], where it would be held at the [[Atlanta Athletic Club]].<ref name="WTHR"/> Prior to 2010 Atlanta had previously held a tennis tournament known as the [[Verizon Tennis Challenge]] from 1992 to 2001. That tournament, also held at the Atlanta Athletic Club, included [[Andy Roddick]], [[Pete Sampras]], [[Andre Agassi]] and [[John McEnroe]] among its past champions.

In 2011 the tournament moved to the Racquet Club of the South in suburban Atlanta.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2010/12/Other/Atlanta-Racquet-Club.aspx|title=Atlanta Championships to be held at the Racquet Club of the South|publisher=atpworldtour.com|date=7 December 2010}}</ref> In 2012, the tournament gained [[BB&T]] as title sponsor and changed its name to the BB&T Atlanta Open.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2012/04/Features/Atlanta-New-Title-Sponsor.aspx|title=News - ATP World Tour - Tennis|website=atpworldtour.com}}</ref> The 2012 and later editions have been held in [[Atlantic Station, Atlanta|Atlantic Station]] in midtown Atlanta. Temporary courts are constructed around the retail and residential area's central park. The main court has a capacity of 4,000 people.<ref>{{cite news |title=Atlanta Tennis Championships headed to Atlantic Station |url=http://www.ajc.com/sports/atlanta-tennis-championships-headed-1264815.html |work=[[The Atlanta Journal-Constitution]] |date=2011-12-19 |access-date=2011-12-19 |first=Doug |last=Robertson}}</ref> In 2015, the tournament was acquired from the USTA by [[GF Sports]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbtatlantaopen.com/news/from_memphis_to_atlanta_the_reemergence_of_american_tennis/|title=From Memphis to Atlanta: The Reemergence of American Tennis|website=www.bbtatlantaopen.com|date=September 20, 2022 }}</ref>

For its first six years, the Atlanta Open singles was dominated by Americans. Mardy Fish, Andy Roddick, and John Isner were the only men to win the event before Australian Nick Kyrgios defeated Isner in the 2016 final. Isner, a former [[University of Georgia|Georgia Bulldog]] and local favorite, owns the tournament records for most finals (9) and most titles (6).

Eddie Gonzalez served as Atlanta Open Tournament Director from 2014-2022.

The Atlanta Open was a professional men's tennis tournament that was played in the Atlanta area in the United States from 2010 to 2024, usually during July or August. The tournament was played on outdoor hard courts as part of the USTA's US Open Series, the seven-week summer season lead-up to the U.S. Open. The Atlanta Open was known as the Atlanta Tennis Championships for its first two years before signing BB&T as a title sponsor in 2012. In 2015, the tournament was acquired by GF Sports from its then-owners, the USTA.[3]

The event was removed from the 2025 calendar.[4]

History

[edit]

In 2009, the Association of Tennis Professionals purchased the license for the tournament in Indianapolis because of low ticket sales and a struggle to attract top players.[5] In December 2009 it was announced that the ATP had sold the license to a group in Atlanta, Georgia, where it would be held at the Atlanta Athletic Club.[5] Prior to 2010 Atlanta had previously held a tennis tournament known as the Verizon Tennis Challenge from 1992 to 2001. That tournament, also held at the Atlanta Athletic Club, included Andy Roddick, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi and John McEnroe among its past champions.

In 2011 the tournament moved to the Racquet Club of the South in suburban Atlanta.[6] In 2012, the tournament gained BB&T as title sponsor and changed its name to the BB&T Atlanta Open.[7] The 2012 and later editions have been held in Atlantic Station in midtown Atlanta. Temporary courts are constructed around the retail and residential area's central park. The main court has a capacity of 4,000 people.[8] In 2015, the tournament was acquired from the USTA by GF Sports.[9]

For its first six years, the Atlanta Open singles was dominated by Americans. Mardy Fish, Andy Roddick, and John Isner were the only men to win the event before Australian Nick Kyrgios defeated Isner in the 2016 final. Isner, a former Georgia Bulldog and local favorite, owns the tournament records for most finals (9) and most titles (6).

Eddie Gonzalez served as Atlanta Open Tournament Director from 2014-2022.
