This initial entry list came out on June 6.
No real surprises here for the newly named event that will be taking place at a new location on the property of Atlantic Station in the city of Atlanta.
With a date sandwiched between Wimbledon and the Olympics this year, the BB&T Atlanta Open has a fairly strong field for an ATP 250 tournament.

2 Isner, John USA 11
3 Nishikori, Kei JPN 18

The Mardy Fish entry is going to be interesting, especially if he isn't able to play on grass.
Jack Sock hasn't played in months with an injury and two other wildcard spot are still open. I expect to see Brian Baker here if he wants to play.
The dates are July 14-22. Get your tickets.
