ATLANTA, July 4, 2023 (Press Release)

The Atlanta Open has announced the qualifying player field who will compete in this year’s ATP tournament, scheduled for July 22-30, 2023 at Atlantic Station.

The qualifying field includes Georgia Tech alum Chris Eubanks, who captured his first ATP Tour title on Saturday at the Mallorca Championships in Mallorca, Spain. He will make his Wimbledon main draw debut on Tuesday against Thiago Monteiro of Brazil. Eubanks now has a career-high world ranking of 43. A two-time All-American at Georgia Tech, he also was two-time ACC Player of the Year.

University of Georgia redshirt freshman Ethan Quinn, who became just the fourth freshman to win the NCAA Singles National Championship in May, has received a wild card invitation and will also compete as part of the qualifying field. Quinn joined the elite company of Mikael Pernfors (1984, 1985) and Matias Boeker (2001, 2002) as the only Bulldogs to capture the NCAA national singles title. The All-American is the fourth freshman to claim the crown since 1977, and the first Georgia player to advance to the finals since John Isner did so in 2007.

“It is such an honor to get to play so close to my new home of Athens,” said Quinn. “Since coming to Georgia it’s been a dream to play in the Atlanta Open. I am so grateful for this opportunity and very grateful for both Manny Diaz and Jamie Hunt for getting me prepared to play this event but also extremely appreciative of Peter and the board of directors to help me start my new pro career at such a sought-after event. I look forward to getting to play in front of family and friends and enjoying this incredible tournament.”

Other notable alternates include France’s Corentin Moutet (No. 71 world rank), Germany’s Dominik Koepfer (No. 86), Aleksandar Vukic (No. 87), and Australia’s Thanasi Kokkinakis (No. 90).

The Atlanta Open announced its main draw of direct acceptances last week which includes top-ranked American Taylor Fritz (No. 9), Atlanta Open defending champion Alex de Minaur (No. 17), Atlanta native Ben Shelton (No. 36), Japan’s Kei Nishikori (former world No. 4), France’s Gael Monfils (former world No. 6), and six-time Atlanta Open champion John Isner (former USA No. 1), among others. Georgia Tech’s Andres Martin will also compete as a wild card in the main draw.

“We are thrilled for Chris Eubanks in earning his first ATP Tour title over the weekend and we can’t wait to see him again in Atlanta,” said Peter Lebedevs, Atlanta Open tournament director. “We’re also very excited to add Georgia Bulldog Ethan Quinn as a wild card among the qualifying competition. Having Chris and Ethan join Atlanta fan favorites like Andres Martin and John Isner in the field is something local tennis fans really enjoy. There are some very talented players in the field which will translate to a lot of competitive matches. 

“Kids 12 and younger get free admission during the qualifying matches on the first weekend of the Atlanta Open. We’re looking forward to having a lot of kids and families attend. It promises to be a fantastic week of tennis.”
