The Venue: A World-Class Stage

The tournament takes place at the Ford Center at The Star, the world corporate headquarters and training facility of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.

The move from the SMU campus (Styslinger/Altec Tennis Complex) to the Ford Center was a game-changer initiated in 2025. The facility transforms a 12,000-seat indoor football stadium into an intimate yet massive tennis arena.

Capacity: The stadium holds approx. 6,000–12,000 fans for tennis (depending on configuration), triple the capacity of the previous venue.

Experience: Fans can access “The Star District,” a 91-acre campus filled with dining, shopping, and entertainment options just steps from the court.

Premium Seating: New options include the Choctaw Club (courtside suites) and the Comfort Loge, offering all-inclusive food and beverages—a standard befitting an ATP 500 event.

2026 Player Field: The Stars Align

Thanks to the ATP 500 upgrade, the 2026 field is arguably the strongest in the tournament’s history. The draw features a heavy concentration of top American talent alongside elite international stars.

The Contenders

🇺🇸 Ben Shelton: The explosive American lefty returns as a top seed. Known for his blistering serve and charisma, Shelton thrives in indoor conditions where his power is amplified.

🇺🇸 Taylor Fritz: A consistent Top 10 presence, Fritz is looking to add a home-soil ATP 500 title to his resume. His flat, penetrating groundstrokes are perfectly suited for the Ford Center courts.

🇳🇴 Casper Ruud: The former World No. 2 and multi-time Grand Slam finalist adds international prestige. Ruud reached the final here in 2025 and will be eager to go one step further this year.

🇨🇦 Denis Shapovalov (Defending Champion): The Canadian produced a stunning run in 2025 to lift the trophy. His flashy lefty one-handed backhand makes him a fan favorite in Dallas.

🇧🇬 Grigor Dimitrov: One of the most elegant players on tour, Dimitrov’s veteran experience and variety make him a dangerous threat on fast indoor courts.
