“The reception the Dallas Open has received from the community thus far has been incredible. We are thrilled to have Grigor, John and Reilly lead our player field and hope to make additional announcements on player commitments in the coming weeks. After quickly selling out of our VIP Boxes and Forty-Love Suite, we are excited to now have individual tickets on sale for fans who want to be a part of the inaugural tournament.”

On the event Isner said:

"It's incredibly nice. It's very lucky for me to have this tournament coming here so close to home. I practise there all the time. I'm lucky in the sense that I kind of have a couple of hometown events. Atlanta is one, and here in Dallas. It's good."
