Dallas Open History and Previous Winners
History
The Dallas Open returned to the tour only after the tennis tournament in Uniondale, New York was relocated to Dallas, Texas. The original Dallas Open then called the Paine Webber Classic was held for one year in 1983. This initial tournament was played outdoors unlike today’s indoor event. It was the successor of the Denver Open but it was extremely short-lived. As the tournament lost its sponsorship, the Dallas Open was canceled. Now, exactly 40 years later, the Dallas Open is having its 3rd-ever edition.
Dallas Open Winners
Seeing as there have only been 2 Dallas Open editions, we have a rather short selection of participating players and winners. Nonetheless, some notable players that played in the tournament are former no.1 and tennis icon Jimmy Connors, former doubles no. 1 John Fitzgerald, French Open winner Andres Gomez, and others like Taylor Fritz, and Jenson Brooksby. Last year’s runner-up Jenson Brooksby will not be attending this year’s tournament.
