With an all-American final and a round of events, the 32nd annual Delray Beach Open at the Delray Beach Stadium & Tennis Center did not disappoint.
Top-seeded and defending champion Taylor Fritz defeated third-seeded Tommy Paul, 6-2, 6-3 to win the singles championship. Last year, Fritz became the first current Top 10 player to win the singles championship as a world-ranked No. 7. This year, he did it again, ranked No. 9.
“It feels really good coming here and defending the title,” Fritz said after the match. “Playing Tommy, I felt it could go either way. I am really happy I got the win…the match was way, way closer than the score indicated. It literally just came down to a couple of big points in both sets and I was fortunate enough to win them.”
