Duarte Awarded Main Draw Wild Card for 2022 Atlanta Open

ATLANTA— Georgia State men's tennis fifth-year senior Andrei Duarte was awarded a main draw doubles wild card for the 2022 Atlanta Open as announced by the professional men's tennis tournament and tournament director Eddie Gonzalez on Monday. Duarte will pair with Alvaro Regalado of Columbus State to compete in the ATP 250 Tour event against a pair of ATP Tour Pros on July 26.

Duarte joins former Panthers men's tennis player Zack Kennedy as the latest GSU tennis standout to compete at the US Open Series tournament in Atlanta. Kennedy received a doubles draw to the Atlanta Open in 2016 and secured a win in the first round over tennis pros Yoshihito Nishioka and Thiago Monteiro.

Duarte prepares to make his professional tournament debut at this year's Atlanta Open having closed his tenure with the Panthers in 2022 as the school's all-time leader in wins. Duarte's five-year career at GSU was capped off with a historic season that saw the fifth-year help lead GSU to Sun Belt Conference Regular Season and Tournament Championships as well as an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. 

Duarte received All-Sun Belt Singles and Doubles First Team honors for the spring 2022 season.

Duarte will compete at the tournament's annual College Night on Tuesday, July 26. The Atlanta Open's College Night is designed to showcase top collegiate talent while offering a pathway to the professional ranks for college athletes in tennis.

The Atlanta Open will be held at Atlantic Station in Atlanta, Ga. from July 23-31. Information on tickets can be found at the tournament's webpage and the ATP Tour website using the links above.
