The fourth edition of the Dallas Open will commence on February 3, 2025, and we are set for an exciting week of action at the Texas city. This is the first time the tournament will be held as an ATP 500 event.
Tommy Paul won the competition last year and will be a title contender this year as well. However, the American will not have an easy title defense as the likes of Taylor Fritz, Casper Ruud, Ben Shelton are also capable of going the way.
On that note, here is everything you need to know about the tournament.
