Men\u2019s professional tennis is coming back to San Diego. Tournament officials have announced that the 2022 San Diego Open ATP 250 tournament will be played Sept. 17-25 at Barnes Tennis Center, 4490 W Point Loma Blvd.
\nAfter last year\u2019s highly-attended inaugural tournament, which had sold-out crowds for the final four days of the event, Tournament Director Ryan Redondo and tournament partner Southern California Tennis Association Foundation, worked with the ATP to bring the tournament back to San Diego in 2022.
\n\u201cIt feels great to bring the San Diego Open ATP 250 back to Barnes Tennis Center and give sports fans the opportunity to watch men\u2019s professional tennis at its highest level,\u201d said Redondo, who also serves as CEO and general manager of Youth Tennis San Diego \/ Barnes Tennis Center.
\n\u201cWith our men\u2019s ATP Tour 250 tournament taking place in September and the women\u2019s WTA Tour 500 event scheduled for Oct. 8-16, it is unprecedented. Never before in the history of San Diego sports has something like this been accomplished,\u201d Redondo added.
\nThe 2022 San Diego Open ATP 250 tournament will feature a 28-player singles main draw and a 16-team doubles draw. The event offers a total of $612,000 in prize money and tournament champions will receive 250 Pepperstone ATP ranking points.
\nThe City of San Diego will become the fifth city in the United States to host ATP Tour and WTA Tour tournaments in 2022, joining Indian Wells, Miami, Cincinnati, and Washington, D.C.
\nAndrea Gaudenzi, ATP chairman, said: \u201cAs a global sport we continue to manage the impacts of the pandemic. Event cancellations are an unfortunate reality, and we wish our affected tournament members and fans well. At the same time, it\u2019s incredibly encouraging to have many great cities like San Diego step up to host ATP Tour tennis this season.
\n\u201cThis shows the strong international interest in our product and validates the agile approach we\u2019ve taken in responding to fast-changing circumstances. We would like to thank all stakeholders involved in this process and look forward to an exciting second half of the season.\u201d
\nMain draw matches will begin Monday, Sept. 19. The tournament will conclude on Sunday, Sept. 25 with the singles and doubles championships. There will also be a 16-player qualifying draw with qualifying rounds scheduled on Saturday, Sept. 17 and Sunday, Sept. 18. Four qualifiers will advance to the main draw.
\nAccording to tournament officials, additional event information regarding ticket sales, ball kids, volunteer opportunities and the player field will be announced in the coming weeks prior to September\u2019s tournament.
\n\u201cThe Southern California Tennis Association Foundation is proud to bring the ATP Tour to San Diego this September. It will complement the San Diego Open WTA 500 event in October and provide inspiration for the youth of San Diego,\u201d said Linda Milan, SCTA Foundation executive director.
\n\u201cThe foundation’s mission is to provide equal tennis opportunities to young players, regardless of\u00a0 age, gender, ability or economic background. Having professional tennis players from all over the world competing in San Diego demonstrates this and will fuel our kids’ desire to succeed,\u201d Milan said.
\nCasper Ruud of Norway captured the men\u2019s singles title at last year\u2019s inaugural San Diego Open ATP 250 with an impressive 6-0, 6-2 victory over Cameron Norrie of Great Britain. In the men\u2019s doubles championship, Neal Skupski and Joe Salisbury of Great Britain scored a thrilling 7-6 (2), 3-6, 10-5 victory over Filip Polasek of Slovakia and John Peers of Australia.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
