Atlanta Tennis Championships

Joni Zeccola, Neighbor

The Atlanta Tennis Championships announced 2003 US Open champion and former No. 1 Andy Roddick, 2010-11 ATC finalist John Isner and US Open mixed doubles champion Jack Sock (with Melanie Oudin) have committed to play in the 2012 tournament. Isner has signed a multi-year deal. 

Atlantic Station will be transformed into a Tennis Championship site.  A minimum of three competition and three practice tennis courts will be built on the 138-acre site. Central Park, located in the middle of Atlantic Station, will be the site of Center Court. A hard court will be laid down with two large grandstands on the sides built to accommodate more than 4,000 fans. Two other competition courts will be built only a block away adjacent to I-75 & I-85 within view of downtown Atlanta and with exposure to over 500,000 vehicles per day.
