Milos Raonic and Jack Sock will be the contenders for the Delray Beach title.
Raonic
Milos got to the final after he defeated Juan Martin del Potro 6-3 7-6(3). The Canadian was in firm control against Delpo; the only awkward moment for Milos was when he failed to serve out the match when he was leading 6-3 6-5. Eventually, the Canadian kept his cool to win the contest at the breaker after saving a set point.
Sock
Jack had a fantastic run in Delray Beach to reach the final without dropping a single set during the entire week. Sock defeated fellow American Donald Young in the semi-final 6-4 7-6 (2)
Sock has already won a title this year in Auckland, and it would be fantastic for him to clinch the second one on the home soil. The American commented
“I’m definitely playing with a lot of confidence this year. I started out the season with a title, which is the most ideal situation and gives you confidence for the rest of the tournaments. I feel strong mentally and physically, and like I have a clear game plan for what I’m doing out there.”
The head to head
Milos and Jack have played each other already ten times. The head to head is 8-2 for the Canadian, but Sock has won the last encounter in Shanghai 2016. The Canadian is the favorite, but everything can happen.
