The Delray Beach Open is a very well organized ATP250 event with often participation of top 20 players so it's definitely worth attending. The atmosphere is pretty lay back, too quiet at times, but this is Delray. The kids have a blast as they can get very up-close to their tennis player idols when they either walk in or out the court, or even in one of the warm-up/practice courts. They're easily accessible to anyone as part of the event. The one negative I've been noticing over the years is the outrageous prices charged by the food, drinks and merch vendors inside the event. I did not drink any alcohol this time around but had an 1 (one) ice cream scoop for $8, that's ridiculous. PS. Very often over the years the final on Sunday got rained out and it was played on Monday. Keep that in mind when buying tickets for the final, the odds are against you.
Had a nice time, watched Tommy Paul narrowly escape Alex Michelsen. Quite an exciting match.
Yoo guys, how is going? Super nice tournament, central court with an amazing overview, delicious food and great stuff. Great experience, I'm super ready for next year
The tennis is good but the stadium is terrible. The seats have no leg room and are not very wide. This stadium needs upgrading. Ticket price is decent, food is ok but overpriced. Bathroom is way too small.
There was only one old timers match on the first Saturday, and all other matches .. qualifiers were on court one... very crowded stands...
It's a small Tennis venue with the opportunity to see the tennis players up close. There is no bad seat in the stadium. (No "nose bleed" seats. Very friendly place. Lovely destination.
A great venue at 250 point tournament. I was disappointed that Isner and Brooksby had to pull out. As well as Shapolov departed early. Fritz won the first set 6-0 I thought it was going to be a total bomb. But Kecmanovic rebounded in the 2 nd set with some great shots but Fritz looked bored and hit some lackluster shots . The venue is well organized and fun. One note the garage across from the tennis had a sign that it was closing at 6 pM ! What if the match went longer. It was over around 5 pM but it’s not fair to many who wanted to go into the town for dinner . Bad public relations from Delray
Easy drive, easy/cheap/close parking, great concessions, and very reasonable prices for seeing some of the top players in the world. Living only a few hours away, I will likely be back every year!
I had such a nice time with my daughter. It was wrong very well. Exciting night of tennis!
