The Savannah Challenger has been in full swing all week at The Landings Club, and with great weather and strong attendance, the tournament is heading into its final stretch. Quarterfinal singles and doubles semifinals are on the schedule for today (Friday), with semifinals on Saturday and the championship matches this Sunday.
This USTA-sanctioned event kicked off with qualifying rounds on Easter Sunday and is part of the USTA French Open Wild Card Series, which means players are not only competing for nearly $15,000 in prize money—they’re also earning valuable ranking points that help determine future Grand Slam entries.
Today’s matches begin at 11 a.m., and the tournament is open to the public. Tickets are available at savannahchallenger.com/tickets, and you can also catch the action via live stream on the tournament website.
The field includes several promising young players like Eliot Spizzirri (Texas) and Andres Martin (Georgia Tech)—two college standouts looking to make the jump to the pro tour. This tournament has long served as a launchpad for big names in tennis, with past competitors including Daniil Medvedev, Nick Kyrgios, Denis Shapovalov, Kei Nishikori, Jack Sock, and John Isner.
Last year’s champion, Alexander Ritschard, used his victory here as a stepping stone toward climbing the ATP rankings. For fans, this weekend is a great chance to catch rising stars in an intimate setting, with easy access to high-level tennis just a short drive from town.
