Charlotte Invitational
The Charlotte Sports Foundation (CSF) announced an all-new, premier tennis exhibition coming to Charlotte, North Carolina the evening of Friday, Dec. 6.
In extraordinary fashion, four of tennis’ biggest names will descend on the City – including Carlos Alcaraz, Frances Tiafoe, Madison Keys and Sloane Stephens – for a double-header event at the Spectrum Center.
“All eyes will be on Charlotte as some of the biggest names in tennis face off in an event unlike any other,” said Danny Morrison, CSF’s executive director. “Expect unparalleled, elevated hospitality that only the Queen City can provide and, of course, elite competition in a sport that’s captivated the world.”
Alcaraz, currently number three in the ATP rankings and the defending Wimbledon champion, most recently won the French Open making him the youngest male tennis player to win a Grand Slam on all three playing surfaces (hard, clay and grass).
“I am appreciative for the opportunity to compete in the Charlotte Invitational this December,” said Alcaraz. “Fans can expect an incredible night and we look forward to providing an unforgettable experience for all in attendance!”
Match times are still to be determined and the event’s title sponsor will also be announced at a later date. Partnering with CSF to host the event is Unified Events and CLT Sports Ventures.
