The 2025 Dallas Open promises an exciting exhibition match featuring Kim Clijsters and Martina Hingis. Next year’s tournament in Texas will be upgraded to an ATP 500-level event, which means more top-tier players are expected to join.
In 2023, the Dallas Open saw a thrilling final where Tommy Paul defeated Marcos Giron in three sets, showcasing brilliant tennis from both athletes. The upcoming exhibition with Clijsters and Hingis adds even more anticipation for fans.
Tennis enthusiasts might think this is a dream match-up! Recently, there have been many high-profile exhibitions featuring top players. For example, the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia was a huge financial success with Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Daniil Medvedev, and Holger Rune participating.

Exciting Exhibitions:
Sinner triumphed over Alcaraz at the Six Kings Slam final and took home $6 million. Despite insisting he doesn’t play for money, some fans were doubtful about his statement. That event also marked the last showdown between Djokovic and Nadal before Nadal retired after the Davis Cup Finals.
Meanwhile, Alcaraz played two exhibitions in the U.S., winning against Ben Shelton at Madison Square Garden but losing to Frances Tiafoe in Charlotte. Fans hope that Clijsters and Hingis’ match will meet expectations.
Clijsters boasts four Grand Slam titles including three US Opens; she now shares her insights on tennis as an analyst. Hingis has five singles Grand Slams: three Australian Opens plus one each at Wimbledon and the US Open. She excelled in doubles too with 13 women’s doubles majors and seven mixed doubles titles.
Their head-to-head record stands at nine matches with Clijsters leading 5-4 after winning their last four encounters—their most recent being a gripping three-setter during the 2007 Australian Open quarterfinals.
Both legends are thrilled about their upcoming face-off in Texas. “I’m excited to play… It’s an honor,” said Clijsters about competing against Hingis once more before Texan supporters of tennis.
Hingis echoed similar sentiments: “Being part of… is such an exciting opportunity.” She cherishes stepping onto court again alongside someone she had memorable battles with throughout her career—Kim Clijsters!
What do you think? Are you excited for this legendary clash?
