US Open finalist Taylor Fritz to play in Dallas' premier tennis tournament

Top-ranked American tennis player Taylor Fritz will lead a grand slam-worthy lineup at the 2025 Dallas Open next February in Frisco.

According to a release, Fritz (currently ranked No. 6 in the world) will be joined by lifelong rival and fellow American superstar Frances Tiafoe (currently ranked No. 17), American Tommy Paul (No. 12), Norwegian Casper Ruud (No.8), and more.

The 2025 Dallas Open will take place February 1-9, 2025 at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, the headquarters and training facility of the Dallas Cowboys. (It was previously held at SMU.)

The tournament will elevate its status from an ATP 250 to an ATP 500 event, promising the strongest field since the tournament's move to North Texas in 2022, the release says, as the upgrade offers players the chance to earn more ATP ranking points and compete for a share of approximately $2.8 million in prize money.

“I’m looking forward to returning to North Texas to compete in an elevated tournament at a one-of-a-kind venue,” Fritz said in a statement. “The Dallas Open has been a great event and will only be bigger and better with the upgrades starting in 2025.”

Fritz, a 2023 Dallas Open semifinalist and 2022 Dallas Open quarterfinalist, is the top-ranked American man in the world. Currently ranked No. 6 in the PIF ATP Tour Rankings, Fritz won two of his eight career ATP Tour titles in 2024 (Eastbourne, Delray Beach). The 27-year old was the 2024 US Open runner-up and a quarterfinalist at both the 2024 Australian Open and Wimbledon Championships.

Tiafoe, a two-time Dallas Open quarterfinalist, is the third-highest ranked American. Tiafoe reached his second career Grand Slam semifinal at this year’s US Open, falling in five sets to Fritz.

“It’s exciting to see another 500-level tournament added here in the U.S.,” Tiafoe said in a statement. “The energy at the Dallas Open is electric, and I can’t wait to compete in this year’s event.”

The 2025 Dallas Open will be the only ATP Tour indoor championship in the United States, and features men’s top world tennis players in singles and doubles competition. Previously held as the New York Open, it's one of the longest-running American tournaments on the ATP Tour.

“The Dallas Open, America’s newest ATP 500-level tournament, continues to strengthen its deepest field yet as we welcome back two of the best players in the world – Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe,” Tournament Director Peter Lebedevs said. “Both Taylor and Frances have played phenomenal tennis in 2024, and we look forward to them showcasing their top-level talent in front of our fans here in North Texas in February.”

Weeklong and weekend ticket packages for the 2025 Dallas Open are available at www.dallasopen.com.

Holiday Season News

Dallas Arboretum bids farewell to beloved 12 Days of Christmas display

After 12 years, the Dallas Arboretum will end its popular "12 Days of Christmas" gazebo display following the upcoming holiday season. The garden venue announced the surprising news in the fall issue of its in-house Bloom magazine.

Every year since 2014, the Arboretum has displayed 12 Victorian-style gazebos that depict animatronic scenes from from the classic carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas." They're illuminated at night, creating a twinkling walk-through attraction that annually makes CultureMap's list of must-do holiday events.

The idea for the exhibition, according to the article in Bloom, came from longtime supporters and donors Phyllis and Tom McCasland. It was then brought to life by Tommy Bourgeois, the production designer for The Dallas Opera, and a group at Dallas Stage Scenery.

According to a statement from Sabina Carr, President and CEO of the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, the exhibition had actually gone well past its intended stay.

"When the Gazebos first appeared in 2014, they were designed for a five-year run. What happened next is a testament to this community. Dallas embraced them, returned to them season after season, and made them part of its Holidays. Families built traditions around them. Children grew up with them. The city made them its own.

"They more than doubled their intended lifespan because the love Dallas showed them made it impossible to let go any sooner. But after twelve years, the animatronics are aging and beginning to show wear. The Arboretum made the decision to retire the Gazebos with the dignity they deserve, giving Dallas the sendoff twelve years of Christmas memories have earned, rather than allowing the experience to diminish."

According to Carr's statement, the Arboretum plans exclusive promotions and special programming during the upcoming season, including a nightly sing-along in the Christmas Village.

For those worried whether this means an end to the larger Holiday at the Arboretum celebration, fret not - they're already planning what will come next.

"In 2027, the Arboretum will debut HYBYCOZO, a breathtaking new light and geometric sculpture installation that will bring an entirely new dimension to the holiday season," said Carr in the statement. "And in 2028, an all-new holiday experience arrives, reimagining what Christmas at the Dallas Arboretum looks like for years to come. Beloved staples like Christmas Village and the stunning light displays will remain at the heart of the celebration."

The article in Bloom says HYBYCOZO will live beyond just the holiday season, with an extended run taking it from November 2027 through February 2028.

It says the exhibition will feature "monumental, illuminated forms inspired by mathematics, science, nature, and global traditions of patternmaking, creating a dazzling nighttime journey for families, art lovers, and holiday visitors alike."
