The Asian swing of the ATP Tour will be in full effect as tennis players will travel to Tokyo, Japan for the Japan Open; scheduled to run from September 25 - October 1, 2024.
An ATP 500 event, the Japan Open is the longest-running ATP Tour tournament in Asia, first held in 1972. Rising American star Ben Shelton won the biggest trophy of his career at last year's edition, and the Atlanta native will be hoping to win consecutive titles as he returns to the tournament this year.

- They need to stop having the USO finals weekend compete with NFL opening weekend. Tennis sucks at scheduling!
smurphie92413-09-2024 - Anti-Social media has no guardrails... and the Lowest Common Denominators are free to demean and denounce anyone, any time; and obviously do so on a daily basis. Why? Because thus far, given the lack of oversight (much less control) over these public immorally bankrupt entities, there is little-to-no possibility of legal repercussion.
mandoist11-09-2024 - Bitterness will always surface the more one cannot resist the urge to spew personal feelings. Unless this woman is running for office she doesn't get -- nor deserve -- the opportunity to literally reinvent what she plainly said the first time. She's no longer a tennis player, does not represent the sport, and should therefor refrain from meaningless drivel and snottyass remarks about her former colleagues.mandoist11-09-2024
- How is it not clear to pro tennis Elitists in charge that flooding the sport with more and more tournaments is NOT the answer? Such decisions made through PURE GREED disguised as "offering more up & coming players a chance to compete". This sport is, at the very foundation, a Business. Any corporate entity should know by now that introducing too many 'franchises' to a limited market is counterproductive to say the very least? And let us not forget the Top Athletes cannot be everywhere week-to-week no matter how much money the tourneys throw at them. Therefor you get a situation such as the US Open missing out on the Best-of-the-Best. Simple economics -- and definitely common sense -- seems to be lost on the WTA/ATP 'experts' in the offices.mandoist11-09-2024
- And NCAA basketball players? Football players? Am I mistaken or are these male athletes not subject to the same restraints? Also... where does this money go now??mandoist11-09-2024
