The second annual Atlanta Cup is set to take place on December 4 at Gas South Arena, featuring a lineup of top American tennis stars. The event, which promises to be a highlight of the city's tennis calendar, will see Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul, Amanda Anisimova, and Taylor Townsend as the main attractions.
Taylor Townsend, a hometown favorite and the Atlanta-raised former doubles world No. 1, will face Amanda Anisimova, a two-time Grand Slam finalist and current world top-10 player. The women's match-up is expected to draw significant interest, given that Townsend recently won the US Open women's doubles title, completing a career Grand Slam with victories at all four majors. Anisimova, on the other hand, is known for her fierce competition and has reached a career-high world No. 3 ranking.
On the men’s side, Taylor Fritz, a US Open and ATP Finals finalist and one of the top-ranked Americans in the world, will square off against Tommy Paul, the Australian Open semifinalist and a five-time ATP Tour champion. This all-American showdown between two Olympic teammates is set to be a thrilling spectacle for tennis enthusiasts.
Jason Dolan, founder of The Atlanta Cup, expressed excitement about the lineup, stating, "Taylor Townsend just did something legendary in New York, winning a career Grand Slam. It's a dream come true to see her play at home in December. She embodies everything The Atlanta Cup stands for, and this event is the annual celebration of the entire Atlanta community."
