A one-night-only celebration of the Atlanta tennis community

This December, Atlanta once again welcomes the return of world-class tennis with The Atlanta Cup, featuring the biggest names in the sport. Set to light up Gas South Arena on Saturday, December 6, the inaugural Cup welcomes Aryna Sabalenka, Naomi Osaka, Ben Shelton, and Nick Kyrgios to the court for what organizers are calling a “high-energy celebration of Atlanta’s tennis culture.”

“I wanted to build something special, both with and for the Atlanta tennis community — it’s a night out to celebrate the tennis year with your partner, your team, and your friends and family,” said Jason Dolan, Founder of The Atlanta Cup. “Getting to celebrate in an intimate venue like Gas South with the world’s best players is the icing on the cake of what will become an annual fixture on the city’s December calendar.”

Fresh off her back-to-back US Open win in September, The Atlanta Cup features current World No. 1 ranked Aryna Sabalenka taking on former World No.1, Naomi Osaka. With eight Grand Slam titles between them, it’s a true primetime clash of titans. On the men’s side, Atlanta native and fan favorite Ben Shelton — currently ranked No. 6 in the world — faces the electrifying shot-maker, Wimbledon singles finalist, and Australian Open doubles winner Nick Kyrgios in their first-ever professional meeting.

As the nation’s largest community tennis league, ALTA continues to play a central role in fostering the city’s vibrant tennis culture. With nearly 70,000 members, it is the largest community-based tennis league in the world and has been instrumental in shaping Atlanta’s tennis culture for more than 90 years. Supporting this new event underscores ALTA’s ongoing mission — growing the game and ensuring tennis thrives in Atlanta for generations to come.
