American No.1 John Isner will lead an interesting draw in Delray beach.
The tournament will start the 25th of February and it will be played on Hard courts.
World no.16 John Isner seems to be the favorite, but the American giant has been struggling for sometime with his knee…so we can expect an outsider to win this one.
Last year the winner was Kevin Anderson that defeated Matosevic in the final 6-4, 7-6(2)
