In 2024, defending champion and then top ranked American Taylor Fritz dominated the court, defeating USA countryman Tommy Paul to become only the second player to win back-to-back championships in the Delray Beach Open’s 32-year history. Just recently, Fritz and Paul joined together at the Paris Olympics to win the Bronze Medal for team USA in the Men’s Doubles. On the doubles side of the draw, the third-seeded team of Julian Cash of Great Britain and American Robert Galloway (the first American doubles champion in Delray Beach since the Bryan Brothers in 2020) captured their first ATP Tour title together and individually by stunning top seeds Santiago Gonzalez of Mexico and Neal Skupski of Great Britain.
