One-On-One Doubles has partnered with the 2025 ATX Open, a WTA 250 event, to host its inaugural Women’s Tournament on Friday Night, February 28th, at the Westwood Country Club in Austin, TX, starting at 6:00pm and its Men’s Tournament at 9:00 am on Saturday, March 1st. One-On-One Doubles showcases two matches on one court in its crosscourt singles serve-and-volley format. Tournament players are required to serve-and-volley on both serves or there is a loss of point; half volleys are allowed. Players earn a two-point bonus for winning volleys and overheads the opponent cannot touch. The Tournament will feature Westwood Country Club’s top adult players competing for the inaugural One-On-One Doubles title.

Christo van Rensburg, who was ranked #5 on the ATP Doubles Tour and #19 in Singles, is the Tournament Director for the ATX Open. Mariaan De Swardt, Director of Racquet Sports at Westwood Country Club, will help coordinate the events. De Swardt reached a career high of #11 WTA Doubles ranking and #28 WTA Singles ranking during her playing career which included winning two Grand Slam Mixed Doubles titles. Ed Krass, One-On-One Doubles Tournament Founder, will make the trip to Austin to stage the event. Krass coached college tennis at Central Florida, Clemson and Harvard before starting his College Tennis Exposure Camps and One-On-One Doubles events. 

“I want to thank Christo for bringing One-On-One Doubles to this year’s ATX Open. This is our 21st year of running One-On-One Doubles events throughout the US,” said Ed Krass, One-On-One Doubles Tournament Founder. “We are excited to conduct our first event in the great State of Texas. I look forward to Austin’s adult players enjoying the challenge of serve-and-volley tennis,” stated Krass. 

“More and more players are trying to perfect their transitional game by moving forward and finishing plays at the net. One-on-One is the perfect format to develop these skills and add value to their regular tennis game, as well as master the net game,” said Van Rensburg.
