Atlanta Cup Debuts with Tennis Superstars Osaka, Sabalenka, Shelton & Kyrgios

The Atlanta Cup debuts Dec. 6, 2025 featuring tennis stars Naomi Osaka, Aryna Sabalenka, Ben Shelton & Nick Kyrgios at Gas South Arena. Tickets available at ticketmaster.com.

This event matters because it brings elite international tennis back to Atlanta after the conclusion of the Atlanta Open's 14-year run, providing local fans with unprecedented access to world-class athletes in their own community. For Atlanta's massive tennis population—including over 100,000 active league players—this represents a rare opportunity to see current world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka compete locally, marking the first time a top-ranked female player has appeared in Atlanta since 1997. The inclusion of hometown hero Ben Shelton adds significant local pride and inspiration for aspiring young athletes. Beyond the immediate entertainment value, establishing The Atlanta Cup as an annual signature event helps maintain Atlanta's status as a premier tennis destination, potentially boosting local economy through tourism and reinforcing the city's reputation in the sports world. For tennis enthusiasts nationwide, it demonstrates the sport's growing popularity and accessibility beyond traditional tournament circuits.
