Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe are coming to Dallas in 2025.

The 2025 Dallas Open, set for February 1-9, 2025, will move to the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, the headquarters and training facility of the Dallas Cowboys. In 2025, the Dallas Open will elevate its status from an ATP 250 to an ATP 500 event, promising the strongest field since the tournament’s move to North Texas in 2022.

$2.8 million in prize money will be on offer at the upgraded event.

“I’m looking forward to returning to North Texas to compete in an elevated tournament at a one-of-a-kind venue,” 2024 US Open finalist Fritz said in a statement. “The Dallas Open has been a great event and will only be bigger and better with the upgrades starting in 2025.”

“The Dallas Open, America’s newest ATP 500-level tournament, continues to strengthen its deepest field yet as we welcome back two of the best players in the world – Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe,” Tournament Director Peter Lebedevs said. “Both Taylor and Frances have played phenomenal tennis in 2024, and we look forward to them showcasing their top-level talent in front of our fans here in North Texas in February.”

Tiafoe, a two-time Dallas Open quarterfinalist, is currently No. 17 in the world, the third-highest ranked American. Tiafoe reached his second career Grand Slam semifinal at this year’s U.S. Open, falling in five sets to Fritz.
