    Behind the Scenes of the Lincoln Challenger, Memphis Classic & Philly Open ft. Alex Guthrie
    Jun 18 2026

    On today's episode of Cracked Interviews, host Alex Gruskin welcomes Topnotch Management Director of Events Alex Guthrie for a preview of three of the biggest professional tennis events on this summer's calendar.

    The two dive into the continued growth of professional tennis in the United States, discussing the return of world-class competition to several key markets through the Lincoln Challenger, Memphis Classic, and Ennoble Care Philly Open. Guthrie offers behind-the-scenes insight into what it takes to launch and operate professional tournaments, explains what fans can expect at each event, and shares how these tournaments fit into the broader ATP Challenger and WTA ecosystems. The conversation also explores the unique identities of each stop—from the ATP Challenger action in Lincoln, to the return of WTA Tour tennis in Memphis, to the arrival of the WTA 125 Ennoble Care Philly Open in Philadelphia.
