4) Two Former Finalists Meet - Who Will Finally Earn the Trophy?

Both finalists have been here before. Tommy Paul fell to Taylor Fritz in the 2024 final, while Sebastian Korda fell to Hubert Hurkacz in 2021. Both will be looking for their first Delray Beach Open title. Currently, Paul has four career ATP Tour titles and Korda has two.

5) Familiar Faces in the Korda Player Box

Sebastian Korda's father, Petr, competed in this tournament in 1997 and 1999. Another familiar face in Korda's box is his coach Ryan Harrison, who reached the doubles final here in 2021 when Sebastian reached the singles final.

6) Doubles Final - Olympic Medalists vs Wild Card Team

Nikola Mektic and Austin Krajicek are both former world No. 1s and Grand Slam champions. Mektic is an Olympic gold medalist (2020) from Croatia and Krajicek is a silver medalist (2024) from the United States. 

In the final they face the American wild card team of Benjamin Kittay and Ryan Seggerman. While they are much less experienced than their opponents, they do have experience together. They paired up at the University of North Carolina before Kittay transferred to Michigan, where he was the NCAA doubles runner-up in the 2024-2025 school year. Seggerman won five doubles titles on the Challenger tour last season with other partners. This tournament is Kittay's first ATP Tour-level tournament. 

• The last time a wild card team made the final was in 2021, when brothers Ryan and Christian Harrison fell in the final. (Ryan is now Sebastian Korda's coach, and Christian won the Australian Open doubles title last month).

• The last time a wild card team won the title was in 2013, when Jack Sock and James Blake were victorious. 

7) National Anthem Singer

Prior to the singles final the national anthem will be sung by Cheyenne Morris from Wellington, Fla. She is an 11-year-old sixth grader at Wellington Landings Middle School and was the youngest to win the America's Equestrians Got Talent competition two years ago. She has sung the national anthem at a number of different events including Miami Dolphins, Heat and Marlins games.

8) Delray Beach Open Trophy 

The Delray Beach Open trophy was designed by artist Patrick Pease. The blue and yellow coral reef design reflects the colors of the tournament and the Delray Beach ocean vibe. During the tournament it was on display in the Blue Gallery booth, the Official Art Gallery of the Delray Beach Open, where a painting of Taylor Fritz was created during the week.
