JUNE 18, 2024, NEWPORT, R.I, U.S.A., – Top 25 players Alexander Bublik and Adrian Mannarino, alongside American Reilly Opelka as a wild card, will return to the Infosys Hall of Fame Open in July. The tournament, the only grass court stop on the ATP Tour outside of Europe, will take place July 14-21 at the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I., U.S.A. “We are excited to welcome familiar faces and newcomers alike to Newport next month as we gear up for another incredible Infosys Hall of Fame Open,” said Tournament Director Brewer Rowe. “In addition to the many staples of tournament that fans anticipate, we are looking forward to sharing with our local community what is next for professional tennis at the International Hall of Fame in 2025 during the week.” Current world No. 17 Bublik and 2023 Infosys Hall of Fame Open champion Mannarino top the field of entries. Bublik enters the grass season with a career-high ranking and won his fourth ATP title in January at Montpellier. With an impressive 9-3 record at the Infosys Hall of Fame Open, Bublik will look to capture the Van Alen Cup after reaching the final in both 2019 and 2022. Mannarino returns to defend his 2023 Infosys Hall of Fame Open title and make his 11th career appearance in Newport. Currently No. 21 in the PIF ATP Rankings, the Frenchman won 43 matches and three championships in 2023. Earlier this year, Mannarino reached the round of 16 at the Australian Open. Newport will be Opelka’s first ATP Tour event since 2022, having recovered from a hip surgery that sidelined him for most of the 2023 season. A four-time singles champion on tour, he was the highest ranked American in 2021 and reached a career-high ranking of No. 17 after capturing the title in Dallas in February 2022. 

2023 Infosys Hall of Fame Open finalist Alex Michelsen, Australia’s Jordan Thompson and Americans Christopher Eubanks and Marcos Giron round out the top of the draw. Michelsen made a splash in Newport last summer in his first ATP Tour main draw, reaching the final and turning professional shortly after. Thompson, who will make his seventh appearance at the Infosys Hall of Fame Open, won his first career title earlier this season in Los Cabos. The full singles main draw, qualifying draw and doubles draw when complete can be viewed online at infosyshalloffameopen.com.

    Ryan yes always nice to reconnect in the tennis universe. This French guy with the challenging name or GMP keeps popping up in ATP results. Part of the Fils group. France is producing young talent unlike UK and Australia. Even Spain is in a drought.

    I’m still fascinated by Mannarino’s game. Some in the park have called him “the ultimate beta male” of tennis. lol Yet with his obvious lefty serve strategy and compact strokes he’s built a very nice career. I have hard time seeing him defend his title but I’ll be rooting for him. His style even perplexed Federer at Wimby and I was certain he was going win that strange match before his injury.

    The injury nobody saw. He was going to beat RF then suddenly seemed to quit after proving he could do it. One of the stranger matches you will ever see. Mannarino looks like an ordinary player but he’s extraordinary. Carries himself like a beta but he may be an alpha in disguise. Very deceptive great player. Still going strong at 36. Always a great pleasure to see him play on Newport which he obviously loves.
