    DELRAY BEACH OPEN: DAY 7 MEDIA NOTES Sunday, 25 February 2018 Delray Beach Stadium & Tennis Center | Delray Beach, Florida, USA | 19-25 February 2018 Draw: S-32, D-16 | Prize Money: $556,010 | Surface: Outdoor Hard ATP World Tour Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing ATPWorldTour.com YellowTennisBall.com Joshua Rey: [email protected] Twitter: @ATPWorldTour @DelrayBeachOpen Press Room: [email protected] Facebook: @ATPWorldTour @DelrayBeachOpen TV & Radio: TennisTV.com TIAFOE SEEKS FIRST TITLE, FACES GOJOWCZYK IN FINAL Peter Gojowczyk of Germany and American wild card Francis Tiafoe will play for the Delray Beach Open title Sunday. Tiafoe's season thus far has been off to a positive start, as he entered the New York Open with 9 career Tour-level wins, and has since notched 6 wins in the last two weeks alone. Should 20-year-old Tiafoe win the title, he will be the youngest American to win a title since 19-year-old Andy Roddick won at 2002 Houston, and he will be the first #NextGenATP American to win a title. Tiafoe will be the fourth consecutive American opponent standing in Gojowczyk's path to his second career title, after the German defeated John Isner, Reilly Opelka and Steve Johnson en route to the final. The last American to defeat Gojowczyk at any level was Tiafoe, who claimed a win at the 2016 Winnetka Challenger event. Since then, Gojowczyk has held an 8-match Tour-level win streak against American opponents (14 at all levels). The American duo of Jack Sock and Jackson Withrow have stormed through the Delray Beach doubles draw this week to earn a spot in their first final together.

Stan Wawrinka (3 singles) and Leander Paes (6 doubles) have won more Chennai titles than any other players in history. Wawrinka returns as the No. 1 seed in singles, while Paes and Marcel Granollers are the No. 2 seeds in doubles. Among the players challenging Wawrinka this week are Kevin Anderson and Benoit Paire. The second-seeded Anderson broke into the Top 10 of the Emirates ATP Rankings on Oct. 12 after reaching the US Open quarter-finals. Paire, too, enjoyed a successful US Open campaign. He advanced to the fourth round in New York City and arrives in Chennai at a career-high No. 19. Paire and Wawrinka, the 2013 Chennai doubles champions, are playing with different partners in 2016: Paire with Austin Krajicek and Wawrinka with Guillermo Garcia-Lopez. Mahesh Bhupathi, a five-time champion with Paes, is teaming with first-time partner Gilles Muller. Bhupathi and Paes, who teamed at the inaugural event in 1996, are both playing doubles in Chennai for the 16th time.

  • Marcos Baghdatis Debuts at $100000 Comerica Challenger
    Comerica Bank Challenger A USTA Pro Circuit Event August 4-10 2014 Seascape Sports Club Aptos, CA Purse: $100,000 Surface: Hard-outdoor FORMER ATP WORLD NO. 8 MARCOS BAGHDATIS DEBUTS AT $100,000 COMERICA BANK CHALLENGER THIS AUGUST The 2006 Australian Open runner-up, Marcos Baghdatis hopes to bag a victory at Seascape this year. After some solid success on the ATP World Tour with victories over Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and 2005 Seascape Champion, Andy Murray, he has battled frequent injuries causing him to fluctuate in the rankings. Perhaps Seascape is a stepping-stone for a Baghdatis comeback. 2013 defending champ and Stanford alum, Bradley Klahn returns and hopes to clinch a second title in addition to the other top three finishers from last year’s competition just as thirsty for victory: feisty Brit, Daniel Evans, rock-solid Russian, Evgeny Donskoy and Farrukh Dustov. 26-year-old Russian, Mikhail Kukushkin stands as this year’s highest singles seed with an overall ranking of 48 in the world. Kukushkin made a successful run at Wimbledon earlier this summer, advancing to the third round against Rafael Nadal where he won the first set. The entry list includes no players exceeding higher than No. 185, thus the battles should be fiercely fought all week long. ABOUT THE USTA PRO CIRCUIT: With 90-plus tournaments hosted annually throughout the country and prize money ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, the USTA Pro Circuit is the pathway to the US Open and tour-level competition for aspiring tennis players and a frequent battleground for established professionals.
