DELRAY BEACH, November 11, 2026 (Media Release)
The Delray Beach Open has announced that former champion Frances Tiafoe will return for its 35th anniversary edition Feb 12-21, 2027. The tournament’s 2018 winner will join fellow Americans Taylor Fritz, Brandon Nakashima and Learner Tien in the field.
Tiafoe‘s commitment comes as he prepares to end of his career-best season next week with his first appearance in the ATP Finals in Turin. He reached a career high of No. 8 following a run to this year’s US Open semifinal. This season he also won the title in Halle. In addition, he was runner-up in Acapulco and at the ATP Masters 1000 in Cincinnati.
Tiafoe was just 20 years old when he won his maiden ATP title at the 2018 Delray Beach Open. He now owns four total titles and has reached nine other finals in his career. He will be making his seventh appearance at the Delray Beach Open, where he owns a 13-5 record.
The 2020 ATP Tour Arthur Ashe Humanitarian of the Year, Tiafoe has teamed with the USTA Foundation create the Frances Tiafoe Fund, which has raised more than $1 million to empower young people from under-resourced communities with tennis, education and mentorship.
Like Tiafoe, the other three American commitments are all ranked in the ATP’s Top 25.
Fritz, No. 10, will return to the Delray Beach Open for the ninth time as he pursues a third title at the event. He owns 11 career titles and reached four finals during the 2026 season.
Nakashima, No. 19, was the winningest player during the ATP summer hard court swing this season, with one final and two semifinals. He claimed the Next Gen ATP title in 2022.
Tien, No. 22, reached the Australian Open quarterfinal this season. The 20-year-old claimed his first career ATP title last fall before winning the Next Gen ATP Finals title.
The tournament will begin with the Legends Event showcasing tennis greats Andy Roddick, Bob and Mike Bryan, Tommy Haas, Murphy and Luke Jensen, and more on Opening weekend, Feb. 12-14.
