Today started off quietly with a few withdrawals, but the action picked up as the day went on, delivering some high-quality matches and insightful conversations. Plus, it was Seniors Day on the grounds, meaning some great ticket deals for fans who took advantage of the midweek action.
Harrison/King: A First-Round Battle 🎾
One of the standout matches of the day came from Chris Harrison and Evan King, who put on a great first-round contest. The level was high, and the crowd that stuck around for this one definitely got their money’s worth.
Talking to the Dallas Champs 🏆
We caught up with the Dallas Open champions to hear what their title run meant to them and how it’s shaping their plans as a doubles team. Winning a title is one thing—staying together and building on that success is another. They shared some great insight into their mindset moving forward.
Big Wins for Learner Tien & Marcos Giron 🔥
Both Learner Tien and Marcos Giron picked up solid wins today, showing their ability to navigate tricky early-round matches. Giron, in particular, looks like he’s in a good rhythm right now.
A Look Inside the Stringing Room 🎾🛠
Between matches, I spent some time with the on-site stringers, learning more about the process behind their work. It’s easy to forget just how much stringing impacts the game, from tension preferences to how often players need their racquets restrung. Seeing the operation up close gave me a new appreciation for their craft.
That’s it for today—stay tuned for more action from Delray Beach!
