AUDIO: Business RadioX spoke with the top-ranked American player and the tournament’s top seed, Taylor Fritz, after his Round of 16 victory over Yibing Wu of China.
Local sports fans have the convenience of enjoying exciting sports action close to home as professional baseball (Gwinnett Stripers), hockey (Atlanta Gladiators), and indoor lacrosse (Georgia Swarm) franchises call Gwinnett County home.
Yet only several miles from Gwinnett’s border, just down the road on I-85 towards Atlanta, some of the world’s top-ranked tennis players compete annually in the ATP’s Atlanta Open at Atlantic Station.
This year’s tournament (July 22-30) featured several players ranked in the Top 50 including Americans Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, J.J. Wolf, and Christopher Eubanks, while Australian Alex de Minaur, the defending champion, is ranked 17th in the world.
The event draws thousands of fans and offers advertising sponsorships, corporate outings, and ticket packages for area businesses. For example, Gas South is not only the naming rights partner of the Gas South District in Duluth (the home of Gwinnett Business RadioX), but the company is a tournament sponsor as the Gas South logo flashes brilliantly across the electronic signage on Stadium Court every time a players hits an ace.
