The New York Open will return to Long Island for the third consecutive year, with top tier players hitting to the home of the black court at NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The iconic event, being held from February 9 through February 16, is set to feature its strongest player field.
John Isner, the top-ranked American at 19th in the world, and Canadian Milos Raonic, a former Wimbledon finalist and currently ranked 31st, join the list of already committed players, Kei Nishikori, ranked 13th, Australian star Nick Kyrgios, ranked 30th, 2019 champion Reilly Opelka, the 36th ranked player in the world, and 2018 champion Kevin Anderson. Also joining the field is former semifinalist and 44th ranked Sam Querrey, and making his first appearance is Great Britain’s Kyle Edmund, a former 14th ranked player in the world.
“The New York Open has attracted our best field this year,” said Tournament Director Peter Lebedevs. “Nick Kyrgios and Milos Raonic will be making their first appearance at the tournament and the fans will be excited to see them play on the black courts. Kei Nishikori, John Isner and Reilly Opelka, along with Kevin Anderson, are all returning and that is a testament to the fan support for these players and the New York Open.

The first day of qualifying —Sunday, February 9, will be Family Day presented by PGA Tour Superstore and all tickets are free so the entire family can come out.
