Tennis Legends McEnroe and Roddick Headline Star-Studded 2026 Dallas Open Exhibition
FRISCO, Texas – The 2026 Dallas Open is set to kick off its second year as an ATP 500 event with a massive display of American tennis firepower. Tournament officials announced today that legends John McEnroe and Andy Roddick will headline the “Dallas Open All-American Classic,” joined by big-serving North Texas favorites John Isner and Sam Querrey.
The exhibition match presented by Baker Tilly is scheduled for Saturday, February 7, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. CT inside the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco.
A Gathering of Icons
The event promises a unique blend of competitive tennis and entertainment, spanning generations of American talent.
“We’re thrilled to bring together four beloved American tennis stars for what promises to be an unforgettable evening of entertainment,” said Peter Lebedevs, Tournament Director. “John McEnroe and Andy Roddick are legends who transcend the sport, and pairing them with John Isner and Sam Querrey creates a truly special experience for Dallas Open fans.”
John McEnroe, a seven-time Grand Slam singles champion and International Tennis Hall of Fame inductee, brings his historic resume and famous “Johnny Mac” personality back to Texas.
“I have great memories of playing in Dallas throughout my career,” McEnroe stated. “Dallas has incredible sports fans and I can’t wait to play at The Star.”
Joining him is Andy Roddick, the last American man to hold the World No. 1 ranking and the 2003 U.S. Open champion. Roddick noted the rapid rise of the tournament’s status, saying, “The Dallas Open has quickly become one of the premier events on the ATP Calendar. I’m honored to play alongside these guys… We all know how to compete and have fun on the court.”
