Robby Ginepri of Marietta was given a wild-card entry into the main draw of next week’s Atlanta Tennis Championships.
Ginepri, a three-time winner on tour, hasn’t played in a tour-level event since injuring his left elbow in a bicycle accident in September. He reached the second round of last year’s Atlanta event.
Two other players were added to the qualifying portion of the tournament, which will be played at the Racquet Club of the South in Norcross. Denis Kudla, age 18, and Nicolas Massu, a 14-year veteran and five-time winner on tour, will compete in qualifying, which begins Saturday.
The first round begins Monday night. Mardy Fish is the defending champion.
“I’m so thankful to be back playing tennis and for the opportunity to play in front of my hometown fans in Atlanta,” Ginepri said in a statement.
