The former RBC Tennis Championships of Dallas player defeated Bradley Klahn 6-4, 6-2 in the singles championship match and secured his first Challenger Tour title of the year.

Klahn, another past Dallas player, took out the top seed Ernesto Escobedo in the Round of 16 while McDonald was able to get past the second-seeded Tennys Sandgren in the quarterfinals en route to the title match.

McDonald reached the Round of 16 in Dallas this past year, losing to the eventual champion Ryan Harrison in straight sets.

It was RBC Tennis Championships of Dallas doubles champ David O’Hare who picked up the doubles title in Fairfield, getting the win alongside Luke Bambridge – the pairs’ second Challenger Tour title of the year. Bambridge and O’Hare won in straight sets, defeating Akram El Sallaly and Bernardo Oliveira 6-4, 6-2 in the finals.

O’Hare won his improbable Dallas title this year with Joe Salisbury, with the duo making it all the way through qualies to capture the win.

Norrie followed up his win at Tiburon by winning the Stockton Challenger in Stockton, Cal. 6-1, 6-3 over Darian King.

A past Dallas player, Norrie was a finalist at the Atlantic Tire Championship prior to Tiburon and won in Binghamton, New York this summer to give him three singles titles this year.

Another recent RBC Tennis Championships of Dallas player – Joe Salisbury – found success in Stockton as well. Salisbury, who won the Dallas doubles title this year with David O’Hare, won Stockton with Brydan Klein. The pair defeated Denis Kudla and Mikelis Libietis 6-2, 6-4.

King took out another former RBC Tennis Championships of Dallas player, Cameron Norrie, winning in straight sets 6-4, 6-1 in Cary, North Carolina.

En route to the championship King took out the No.1 seed Ernesto Escobedo in the Round of 16 while Norrie defeated the No.2 seed – Tenys Sandgren – in the same round.

The victory for the 26-year-old follows up a Futures title in Toronto to begin the month.

With six past Dallas players advancing to the Round of 16, one made it all the way to the finals – Kevin Anderson. But the South African was no match for the resurgent Rafael Nadal, falling to the top seed in straight sets 6-3, 6-3, 6-4.

Winner of the 2015 Dallas doubles title, Andrey Rublev had his most successful grand slam outing, marching all the way to the quarterfinals to face the eventual champion Nadal.

Also included in that list of past Dallas players to reach the quarterfinals were Philipp Kohlschreiber, Mischa Zverev, Sam Querrey, and Paolo Lorenzi.

It was a competitor in the last two RBC Tennis Championships of Dallas events who really made an impression early on in the tournament. American Frances Tiafoe showed off his forehand power against the five-time US Open champion Roger Federer, pushing the legend to five sets before falling in a 4-6, 6-2, 6-1, 1-6, 6-4 opening round match.

In the doubles draw, it was a former RBC Tennis Championships of Dallas player who was part of the winning team. The 36-year-old Jean-Julien Rojer won his second grand slam title with teammate Horia Tecau as the two defeated Feliciano Lopez and Marc Lopez 6-4, 6-3.

The 28-year-old outlasted another former Dallas competitor – Ze Zhang – at the 2017 International Challenger Zhangjiagang in China, winning the singles title 6-4, 2-6, 6-4.

Jung barely edged out his semifinal opponent – the No.2 seed Go Soeda – battling it out in a 7-6(2), 3-6, 7-6(5) match win.

The title is Jung’s first of the year and was his first time to reach a challenger final since Shanghai last September.

Puetz and teammate Jan-Lennard Struff squared off against two other former Dallas competitors – Guido Andreozzi and Ariel Behar – in the doubles final at the AON Open Challenger in Genova, Italy this September. Puetz and Struff captured the title in a 7-6(5), 7-6(8) victory.

Puetz was a singles semifinalist at the RBC Tennis Championships of Dallas in 2014.

The El Salvadorian won both the singles and doubles titles at the Milo Open in Bogota, Colombia.

In singles, Arevalo defeated Daniel Elahi Galan 7-5, 6-4 in the finals after taking out the No.1 seed Victor Estrella Burgos in the semis.

Alongside teammate Miguel Angel Reye-Varela, Arevalo defeated the top-seeded pairing of Nikola Mektic and Franko Skugor in the doubles championship match 6-3, 3-6, 10-6.

Arevalo last played in the RBC Tennis Championships of Dallas in 2016.

The two former Dallas players teamed up for the first time in 2017 at the Claro Open in Floridablanca, Colombia where the duo reached the doubles final against Sergio Galdos and Nicolas Jarry. After battling back from a 3-6 first set, the American pair won the second set 7-5 before a 1-10 third set tie-break loss.

Bangoura was also a doubles finalist in Dallas alongside Dean O’Brien in 2016.

The victory marks the second consecutive title for Lu who also won the 2017 International Challenger Chengdu. It also makes four singles championships for the year.

Four in a single year is the most ever for the 34-year-old who earned his first win in 2004 defeating Glenn Weiner in straight sets in Joplin, MO. The win came off the heels of his quarterfinal loss to Andre Sa that year here in Dallas.
