Dallas Open (1953–1983)
Script error: No such module "about". Template:Infobox tennis tournament The Dallas Open, also known by its sponsored name the Paine Webber Classic, was an outdoor hard court ATP Tour affiliated men's tennis tournament. It was first founded in 1953 as a combined men's and women's event by the Dallas Tennis Association [1] and the first installment ran annually until 1971 when it was discontinued. In 1983 the tournament was revived as mens event and as the successor to the Denver Open which was cancelled after the 1982 edition due to a loss of sponsorship. Initially the replacement tournament was planned for Atlantic City but this was later changed to Dallas.[2] In 2022 the New York Open was moved to Dallas and revived once again as the Dallas Open.
Notable male players included Jimmy Connors, John Fitzgerald, John Alexander, Andrés Gómez, Brian Teacher, Nduka Odizor, Sherwood Stewart, and Steve Denton.
