DALLAS, October 30, 2024 (Press Release)
The Dallas Open, in partnership with the Dallas Cowboys, announced two of the top American tennis players in the world, Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe, have committed to compete in the 2025 Dallas Open. Fritz and Tiafoe’s addition to the field was announced during the Dallas Open kickoff event, held at the home of Dallas Cowboys Chief Brand Officer and Co-Owner Charlotte Jones.
The 2025 Dallas Open, set for February 1-9, 2025, will move to the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, the headquarters and training facility of the Dallas Cowboys.
In 2025, the Dallas Open will elevate its status from an ATP 250 to an ATP 500 event, promising the strongest field since the tournament’s move to North Texas in 2022. This upgrade offers players the chance to earn more ATP ranking points and compete for a share of approximately $2.8 million in prize money.
“I’m looking forward to returning to North Texas to compete in an elevated tournament at a one-of-a-kind venue,” Fritz said. “The Dallas Open has been a great event and will only be bigger and better with the upgrades starting in 2025.”
Fritz, a 2023 Dallas Open semifinalist and 2022 Dallas Open quarterfinalist, is the top-ranked American man in the world. Currently ranked No. 6 in the PIF ATP Tour Rankings, Fritz won two of his eight career ATP Tour titles in 2024 (Eastbourne, Delray Beach). The 27-year old was the 2024 U.S. Open runner-up and a quarterfinalist at both the 2024 Australian Open and Wimbledon Championships.
“The Dallas Open, America’s newest ATP 500-level tournament, continues to strengthen its deepest field yet as we welcome back two of the best players in the world – Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe,” Tournament Director Peter Lebedevs said. “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 No. 17 in the world, the third-highest ranked American. Tiafoe reached his second career Grand Slam semifinal at this year’s U.S. Open, falling in five sets to Fritz.
“It’s exciting to see another 500-level tournament added here in the U.S.,” Tiafoe said. “The energy at the Dallas Open is electric, and I can’t wait to compete in this year’s event.”
Fritz and Tiafoe join 2024 Dallas Open Champion, American, and World No. 12, Tommy Paul and World No. 8 Casper Ruud as players confirmed to compete in the 2025 Dallas Open.
