WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — (August 18, 2022): Due to an unforeseen schedule change, Jack Sock will be replaced by Bob Bryan as The Greenbrier Champions Tennis Classic celebrates its 10th anniversary at Center Court at Creekside Stadium on September 24.

A women’s singles match, men’s singles match and a mixed doubles match make up the action at this unique, intimate event, hosted by Champions Series Tennis.
“Jack Sock is a terrific player and personality, and we’re disappointed that he won’t be part of the event this year,” said Dr. Jill Justice, President, The Greenbrier. “But Bob Bryan is also incredibly accomplished and has been a fan-favorite at past tennis events at The Greenbrier. We’re grateful that he was able to step in and complete the field.”

That will be followed by a women’s showcase, with Fernandez and Bouchard going head-to-head at approximately 3 p.m. The final match of the day, scheduled to begin around 4 p.m., is a mixed doubles match featuring Bouchard and Querrey teaming up against Fernandez and Bryan.
