The Dominican Republic Open Copa Cap Cana ATP Challenger 175 enters a pivotal stage in its second year. After the debut of its inaugural edition, the tournament moves beyond its launch phase and begins a process of consolidation within the international calendar. With a high competitive category, a strategic date, and a concept that blends elite sport with destination experience, Cap Cana starts to build an event with a clear vocation for permanence.
1. An ATP Challenger 175 tournament, the highest category on the circuit
Copa Cap Cana belongs to the top tier of the ATP Challenger Tour, awarding 175 ATP points to the champion. This level positions it as a direct gateway to the ATP Tour and explains the quality of the competitive field that arrives at the destination.
2. A strategic date in the international calendar
This year’s edition takes place from March 10 to 15, between Indian Wells and the Miami Open, two fundamental Masters 1000 events on the tour. This positioning makes the tournament a relevant stop for players seeking competitive rhythm and high-value points ahead of major commitments.
3. A first champion who is already part of its history
American player Aleksandar Kovacevic was crowned champion in the 2025 edition, becoming the tournament’s first winner and setting the competitive benchmark by which the event has been measured since its debut.
4. Technical standards aligned with top-level tournaments
Copa Cap Cana ATP Challenger 175 is played with Dunlop ATP Extra Duty balls, the same used at the Miami Open. Over the nine days of competition, more than 5,000 balls are used, reflecting the tournament’s level of demand and organizational rigor.
The complex features six Laykold hard courts (the same as the Miami Open) including a Stadium Court, two courts with grandstands, and three practice courts, providing infrastructure designed for high performance and an enhanced spectator experience.
5. An experience that goes beyond sport
The tournament integrates a Fan Village, live music, VIP areas, the Kids Playground, the Sustainability Square led by the Cap Cana Foundation, and activities such as the Kids Meet & Greet, expanding its reach toward family audiences and complementary experiences.
