In a record-breaking Delray Beach Open this year, the Americans led the way. This year was the first time in the tournament's 32-year history that the four singles semifinalists (Taylor Fritz, Marcos Giron, Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe) were all players hailing from the United States.

And with Taylor Fritz ranked No. 9 in the world and Tommy Paul at No. 14, it turned out to be the highest-ranked final in tournament history. Fritz successfully defended his title against Paul becoming only the second player ever to win back-to-back championships in the tournament.

The Delray Beach Open attracted a total of 67,175 over the 10 days and 17 sessions of the event, an all-time record. Session records were also set for four sessions, and daily records were set Thursday and Saturday. Even rock star Jon Bon Jovi stopped by the DBO to check out the action.

Seven DBO sessions were sold out and it was the second-highest attendance for a finals day with a crowd of 5,823 — especially noteworthy considering the final was moved to a Monday due to rain.

The DBO also hosted a variety of special on-court exhibitions and events including the ATP Legends, Legends Clinic, Pro-Am, USTA Florida kid's day and wheelchair tennis exhibition, and Love Serving Autism clinic to name a few.

Meanwhile, the off-court events drew big crowds and plenty of smiles from attendees. Ladies Day Luncheons, Burgers, Bourbon and Brew, PRIDE Night, Tacos, Tequila and Tennis, Game, Set, Pour, and Championship Weekend Brunches kept party goers busy between the matches.
