Four new tournaments are coming to the U.S. as new additions to the tennis calendar for 2018.
At the start of the 2018 season, Oracle Corp. is launching the Oracle Challenger Series, two ATP Challenger Tour events and two WTA 125K Series events. The tournaments will take place as combined events on Jan. 20-28, 2018, at the Newport Beach Tennis Club and Feb. 24-March 4, 2018, at Indian Wells.
The most interesting aspect of the new events is that the tournaments will have a direct connection to the 2018 BNP Paribas Open and give two Americans an opportunity to participate in the combined ATP/WTA tournament at Indian Wells.
