It's that time of year again, for world-class tennis champions to drop into Atlantic Station to compete for an ATP World Tour trophy. The tournament runs from July 20-July 28th.
The huge 4000 capacity stadium has been erected, the tennis courts are in place and freshly painted, and a number of vendors are beginning to set-up and get in place for the roughly 35,000 people that will pass through the gates.
Tickets are now on-sale to see athletes such as John Isner, the Bryan brothers, Mardy Fish, James Blake, and Lleyton Hewitt. It is actually the first time the Bryan brothers are scheduled to play the tournament. The Bryans are recognized as the best men’s doubles team of all time, holding the records for Grand Slam victories, tour crowns and end-of-the-year No. 1 rankings. Returning players include two-time champion Mardy Fish, former Georgia Bulldog John Isner and defending doubles titlist Ryan Harrison.
Tickets are available for purchase in each of the 11 sessions from qualifying weekend July 20-21, starting as low as $6, through the two finals on Sunday, July 28. Weeklong Ticket Packages, Weekend Ticket Packages, and Individual Session Tickets are available at http://www.bbtatlantaopen.com.
Ticket options this year include Market Street Suites, Lexus Inner Circle, Platinum, Gold and Silver seats. All Suite, Inner Circle and Platinum ticket purchasers will receive access into the indoor, air-conditioned VIP lounge. Weeklong and Weekend ticket packages are also available, which offer tickets in the same location for each match for a discounted price.
