Taylor Fritz AND Frances Tiafoe coming to Dallas in 2025.
The 2025 Dallas Open, set for February 1-9, 2025, will move to the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, the headquarters and practice facility of the Dallas Cowboys. In 2025, the Dallas Open will raise its status from an ATP 250 to an ATP 500 event, promising the strongest field since the tournament moved to North Texas in 2022.
$2.8 million in prize money will be offered in the enhanced event.
“I’m looking forward to returning to North Texas to compete in a tournament set up in a special venue,” 2024 US Open finalist Fritz said in a statement. “The Dallas Open has been a great event and will only get bigger and better with improvements starting in 2025.”
“The Dallas Open, America’s newest ATP 500-level tournament, continues to strengthen its deepest field yet as we welcome two of the best players in the world – Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe,” said tournament director Peter Lebedevs . “Both Taylor and Frances have played phenomenal tennis in 2024 and we look forward to them showcasing their top-level talent in front of our fans here in North Texas in February.”
Tiafoe, a two-time Dallas Open quarterfinalist, is currently ranked 17th in the world, the third-highest American. Tiafoe reached his second career Grand Slam semifinal at this year’s US Open, falling in five sets to Fritz.
