With quite a few big names and in-form players, it's set to be an exciting week in Newport. Here's all the information you need to know about the 2022 Hall of Fame Open:
What is the Hall of Fame Open?
Classified as an ATP 250 event on the men's tour, the Hall of Fame Open is the only grass court tournament to be held after Wimbledon. It is hosted by Newport, Rhode Island, and the inaugural edition took place in 1976 with Vijay Amritraj winning the title.
John Isner is the most successful player in the history of the tournament, winning the title four times so far. Former Major champions Lleyton Hewitt and Johan Kriek, as well as two-time Grand Slam finalists Kevin Anderson and Mark Philippoussis, are some of the former champions.
A ceremony to induct former players and contributors into the International Tennis Hall of Fame also takes place here. Former World No. 1 and two-time Grand Slam champion Lleyton Hewitt is one of the inductees this year.
Venue
The tournament will take place at the International Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island, United States.
Players
The top four seeds have received a bye into the second round. Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alexander Bublik are in the top half of the Hall of Fame Open draw. The former will face either Jason Kubler or Jordan Thompson in the second round, while the latter will take on either Jack Sock or Radu Albot.
Andy Murray is also in the top half and is up against Sam Querrey in the first round. Max Purcell, who won the doubles title at Wimbledon over the weekend, is also in this section.
