Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe are set to clash in an exhibition match in Charlotte this December.
The first-ever Charlotte Invitational is scheduled for December 6th, 2024, featuring top stars from both ATP and WTA Tours.
Fans at the Spectrum Center will witness a rematch of the 2017 US Open final between Sloane Stephens and Madison Keys.
In the men’s event, Alcaraz and Tiafoe will face off again, echoing their thrilling semi-final from the 2022 US Open. This comes after Charlotte’s unsuccessful bid to host the Western & Southern Open, which remains in Cincinnati.
