Hometown pro Donald Young has received the first wild card for the Atlanta Tennis Championships. The Atlanta event, owned and operated by USTA Southern, will serve as the kick-off to the 2010 Olympus US Open Series.
Young won the $50,000 Carson USA Challenger in May. He has also won USTA Pro Circuit events at 2009 Carson, 2008 Sacramento, 2007 Aptos and 2007 USA Futures Arkansas. He advanced to the second round of this year’s Australian Open before losing to ATC player Lleyton Hewitt. His highest ranking was No. 73 in April 2008 and he is presently ranked No. 113.
In 2005, Young became the youngest year-end world No. 1 in the junior rankings at 16 years, 5 months and began competing on the U.S. Pro Circuit. In 2007 he became the youngest player to finish in Top 100 and won the Wimbledon Boys title. The left-hander, who moved to Atlanta in 2004, will turn 21 the Friday of the tournament.
Two other wild cards are still to be awarded.
Taking place from July 19-25, the Atlanta Tennis Championships will feature some of the world’s top ATP players, plus the US Open Men’s National Playoffs Qualifying Tournament.
The Atlanta Tennis Championships will feature a 28-player singles draw and 16-team doubles draw. Three-time ATP titlist Mardy Fish joined committed players John Isner, Marcos Baghdatis, Hewitt, James Blake and Robby Ginepri in the main singles draw. Concurrently, the men’s winners from 16 US Open National Playoffs Qualifying Tournaments will battle for one spot in the 2010 US Open Qualifying Tournament in Flushing, N.Y.
