2026 UAMS Health Little Rock Open 

Dear Little Rock Community Supporter,

We are pleased to announce the 2026 UAMS Health Little Rock Open. This year’s ATP Challenger Tournament will be held from May 24-31 at Rebsamen Tennis Center. This year’s event is Little Rock’s 45th consecutive year to host a USTA Pro Circuit event. Several years ago we made the commitment to ramp up from a Futures level tournament to a Challenger level event which allows us to host players from around the world on the cusp of “making it” to the big leagues of professional tennis. These guys are ranked anywhere from 150 – 400 in the world.

Previous players at the Little Rock Open who have become household names include Andre Agassi, Jack Sock, Kei Nishikori, and many others. Most recently, we have hosted two rising American stars, Ben Shelton and Alex Michelsen, who are both currently ranked in the Top 40 in the world. Who will be the next rising star to play in Little Rock? Come out to this year’s UAMS Health Little Rock Open and find out!

Proceeds from the 2026 UAMS Health Little Rock Open will benefit the Bone Marrow Treatment Program at the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute. We are extremely pleased with this repeat choice of beneficiary by UAMS. Our father, who loved tennis, was the recipient of a successful bone marrow transplant at the UCLA Medical Center in 1985. Dad had to travel out to California because this treatment option did not exist in Little Rock at the time.

Now, thanks to advances in medical technology and research at UAMS, bone marrow transplants and other bone marrow treatments are available right here…at home. These capabilities allow many of our friends and neighbors to receive life-saving treatment in Little Rock instead of facing the expense and inconvenience of traveling all the way across the country to receive this meaningful care.

Please join us in supporting this special tennis event and, more importantly, helping provide life-saving opportunities that local bone marrow treatments give to so many.

Sincerely,
UAMS Health Little Rock Open Tennis Committee
