Preview 2023 Atlanta Open: American trio Fritz, Shelton and Eubanks lead line-up also featuring Monfils, Nishikori and De Minaur
ATP
The Atlanta Open is set to take place between July 24-30 with a heavy American contingent set to play the first hard court tournament technically on the run to the US Open.
As ever, TennisUpToDate will preview the action with the main talking points covered as the ATP Tour shifts to Atlanta on the same week as Hamburg and Umag in Europe which are on red clay.
American trio Fritz, Shelton and Eubanks headline stacked line-up
Many players who are in action this week will only stop playing another tournament over night on Sunday. That being the Ultimate Tennis Showdown in Los Angeles.
But they will now head from the fun of UTS to the hard grind again of the ATP Tour albeit having a few days of good competition.
Gael Monfils in particular has not played since before Wimbledon. But he will open up against Thanasi Kokkinakis in one of the popcorn ties. The winner faces Alex de Minaur.
It could be Fritz facing Yibing Wu who is also in the last four in UTS. He opens up against Corentin Moutet.
Kei Nishikori also makes his first appearance in a long while on the ATP Tour after playing mainly challengers. He faces Jordan Thompson to open up.
Ugo Humbert, Yoshihito Nishioka, John Isner, one of the stars of Newport in Alex Michelsen and Brandon Nakashima are also involved.
Christopher Eubanks will make his first appearance since his ground breaking Wimbledon run. He didn't get a wildcard despite being on home soil. He only got in due to a late withdrawal.
But none the less he will begin likely a few months of fanfare back in the US against Andres Martin who received a wildcard for this week.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
