Taylor Fritz and Reilly Opelka are the top two seeds at the inaugural edition of the Dallas Open

The inaugural edition of the Dallas Open got underway. Eighth seed Brandon Nakashima started by beating John Millman 7-5, 7-6 while Kevin Anderson booked his place in the second round by defeating Sam Querrey 6-4, 6-4. The South African will next take on third seed John Isner for a place in the quarterfinals.

Taylor Fritz is the top seed in the competition and a heavy favorite to win it. The American reached the fourth round of the Australian Open and gave a tough fight to World No. 4 Stefanos Tsitsipas before losing in five sets.

Reilly Opelka is another contender to win the tournament and has a fair chance. Third seed Isner had a disappointing Australian Open as he was eliminated in the first round. He will be keen to have a good run at the Dallas Open.

Another player to watch out for in the competition is Jenson Brooksby. The 21-year-old produced some promising performances last year that included reaching the fourth round of the US Open. This saw him win the ATP Newcomer of the Year award.

Brooksby has received a bye to the second round of the tournament and takes on either Daniel Altmaier or Andreas Seppi.

Maxime Cressy produced some promising performances in Australia, reaching the final of the Melbourne Summer Set 1 and the fourth round of the Australian Open. In the Melbourne Major, the American pushed eventual finalist Daniil Medvedev to four sets.
