Top-ranked American John Isner joined 2014 US Open finalist and two-time reigning champion Kei Nishikori as the first players committed to the 2015 Memphis Open player field. Isner, Sam Querrey, Steve Johnson, Jack Sock and Donald Young have also now joined the player field, representing the top five ranked American players. The Memphis Open will be the first pro tournament of the year for Sock, who is currently recovering from hip surgery. Last year’s singles finalist Ivo Karlovic of Croatia and Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine, both ranked in the Top 30, also join this year’s player field.
Monday night’s session ticket (February 9) will include an exhibition match featuring Tennis Hall of Famer and 1997 Memphis singles champion Michael Chang, and former world No. 4 and 2002 Memphis singles finalist James Blake.

In 2014, Tennis Rendezvous LLC, which is jointly owned by the United States Tennis Association and Golden Set Holdings LLC, purchased the U.S. Indoor National Championships and renamed it the Memphis Open – with the inaugural Memphis Open taking place in February 2015 at the Racquet Club of Memphis. The event is one of the longest-running American tournaments on the ATP World Tour and the only indoor ATP event contested in the United States.
The present incarnation of professional tennis in Memphis officially kicked off in 1976, with a tournament won by Vijay Armitraj. In 1977, the tournament was designated as the U.S. Indoor National Championships. Tennis legend Björn Borg walked away with the title that year, and subsequent men’s singles champions include Andre Agassi, Jimmy Connors, Jim Courier, Stefan Edberg, Ivan Lendl, John McEnroe, Andy Roddick and Pete Sampras -- for a total of nine year-end world No. 1s. Doubles champions include three of the greatest tandems of the Open era: Bob and Mike Bryan, Ken Flach and Robert Seguso, and Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde, among others.
