The 2025 Delray Beach Open, scheduled from February 7-16 at the Delray Beach Stadium & Tennis Center, promises to be an electrifying tournament with the return of some of the sport’s top players. Among the headliners are Taylor Fritz, Kei Nishikori, Tommy Paul, and Reilly Opelka.
Taylor Fritz, currently ranked No. 4 in the world, is set to make history by attempting a three-peat at the Delray Beach Open. Fritz has been a dominant force in the tournament, winning back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024. His powerful serve and aggressive baseline game have made him a formidable opponent. Last year, Fritz reached his first Grand Slam final at the US Open, becoming the first American man to do so since Andy Roddick in 2006. He also teamed up with Coco Gauff to win the United Cup team title for the United States.
Kei Nishikori, the 2008 Delray Beach Open champion, is making a remarkable return to the tournament after an extended injury layoff. Nishikori, who reached a career-high ranking of No. 4 in the world, has been working his way back to form with impressive performances on the Challenger circuit. His recent victory in the Hong Kong final and a return to the Top 100 rankings mark a significant comeback. At 35, Nishikori is one of the tournament’s most experienced players and a fan favorite.
Tommy Paul, last year’s runner-up, is another player to watch at the Delray Beach Open. Paul has had a breakout year in 2024, winning three titles and reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals. He briefly overtook Fritz as the No. 1 American and has a career-high ranking of No. 12. Paul’s consistent performance and strong baseline game make him a serious contender for the title this year.
Reilly Opelka, the 2020 champion and 2022 finalist, is known for his powerful serve and ability to rack up aces. Opelka holds the Delray Beach Open record for most aces in a tournament, serving up 99 in 2022. After a challenging period with injuries, Opelka has made a strong comeback, reaching the semifinals in Newport and winning his first ATP final in Brisbane last week
