ATL Open

Luke Jensen was on hand for great motivation and tennis drills while he pumped up the ALTA Junior Challenge Ladder players on the practice courts.

The AA3 Mixed Doubles City Finals battled it out on the Family Zone and Grandstand courts. Camden Place took the title, but Terrell Mill (Line 2 player Christopher Antonio shown here) put up a tough fight.

The court is christened. ALTA President Lamar Scott, USTA Georgia President Mark Botsch, USTA Atlanta President Cindy Presto, and Atlanta Open Tournament Director Eddie Gonzalez kicked off the tournament with some great action on the stadium court.

In the men’s doubles final, two Australian teams squared off against each other. 2022 Australian Open Doubles champions Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokinakkis were the big winners, defeating Jason Kubler/ John Peers, 7-6, 7-5. This was the second time this year an ATP doubles final featured all Australian players. This is the first all-Aussie doubles final since 2000 in Hamburg. It’s also the first Aussie singles and doubles sweep on the ATP Tour since 2014 in Bogota when Bernard Tomic won the singles title, while Sam Groth and Chris Guccione captured the doubles crown.

Alex de Minaur was more than impressive the entire tournament, capturing his second Atlanta Open title. Among the highlights of tournament week are the great giveaways and promotions at the ALTA tent. Thank you to all the terrific volunteers and coordinators who work countless hours making it all happen.

Thank you to all our volunteer ALTA captains who participated in this year’s Captain’s Package. Their hard work paid off at the end of the tournament when they were able to get some professional coaching from former French Open doubles champion Luke Jensen along with ATP pro and Atlanta native Hunter Reese.
