Here’s who’ll be playing tennis in Newport this summer at the Infosys Hall of Fame Open.

The 2024 Infosys Hall of Fame Open will feature Alexander Bublik, Adrian Mannarino and Reilly Opelka alongside Alex Michelsen, Jordan Thompson, Christopher Eubanks and Marcos Giron in the July singles tournament.  

Opelka will compete as a wild card in his first ATP Tour event since 2022 after hip surgery sidelined him for the majority of the 2023 season. He is a four-time singles champion and was the highest-ranked American in 2021.

Bublik and Mannarino each come in ranked in the top 25, and Mannarino will look to defend his 2023 Hall of Fame Open win. In January, Mannarino reached the round of 16 at the Australian Open. No. 17 Bublik won his fourth ATP title in January at Montpellier and will aim to secure the Van Alen Cup after reaching the finals in 2019 and 2022.  

Michelsen, a 2023 Infosys Hall of Fame Open finalist, played in his first ATP tour last summer when he advanced to the final. Thompson won his first career title this season in Los Cabos. 

Americans Christopher Eubanks and Marcos Giron round out the tournament. 

The tournament will take place July 14-21 at the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport.
