SAVANNAH, Georgia, April 30, 2022 – Jack Sock and Christian Harrison are set to face off in the championship match of the 2022 Savannah Challenger.

In the first match of the day, 2016 champion Bjorn Fratangelo kicked off action against 2014 finalist Jack Sock.

The second match of the day on the Landings Stadium Court was 2018 finalist Christian Harrison taking on former Ohio State star JJ Wolf.

The final match of the day was the doubles championship where Ruben Gonzales and Treat Huey took on Tun-Lin Wu and Zhizhen Zhang. Gonzales and Huey were barely able to sneak by Wu and Zhang in the first set, beating the team 7-6(3).
