The Best Things To Do in Dallas This Weekend — Professional Tennis Comes to SMU

Dallas Open Kicks Off, 'Hairspray', Special Chef Dinners, and More

BY // 01.30.23

The best things to do in Dallas this weekend include the Dallas Open, an upscale chef dinner series, a screening of a classic ’80s film, and partying for a good cause.

Dallas Open

The second annual men’s ATP indoor hard court tennis tournament, the Dallas Open, begins this Friday, February 4 at Southern Methodist University. One of only 10 U.S. tournaments on the ATP Tour (and the only ATP Tour indoor championship), this event is a must-attend for tennis fans in DFW. Last year, tennis star Naomi Osaka made an appearance where American Reilly Opelka won the singles event. This year, rising stars like Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, Ben Shelton, and Jenson Brooksby will be competing against icons like John Isner and reigning champ, Opekla.

And to kick off the event on Friday night, Americans Sloane Stephens and Madison Keys will play each other in singles (and two SMU players in doubles) in the Women’s Tennis Classic. Tennis legend Venus Williams was supposed to compete against Danielle Collins, but both had to pull out — Williams due to an injury and Collins a scheduling conflict.
