The opening day of the Delray Beach Open saw three wins for the American players. Sam Querrey took down Mackenzie McDonald 6-3, 6-4 in 70 minutes, saving six out of seven break points.
On the other hand, the more experienced players earned three breaks that carried him over the top and into the second round. Mackenzie pulled the break back after a slow start to level the score at 3-3 in the opener before Sam grabbed three straight games to secure the first set. The second part of the match saw nine comfortable holds and a break for Sam at 1-1 following a terrible forehand from Mackenzie at the net.
Querrey held at 15 in game ten to seal the deal and kick off the season in a winning way. Sebastian Korda defeated Soonwoo Kwon 6-4, 6-4 in an hour and 33 minutes, defending five out of six break chances and stealing the rival's serve thrice to move over the top in straight sets. The young American made a strong start and raced into a 4-0 lead, getting broken once after that but closing the set at 5-4.
The only break in set number two came at 4-4 when Sebastian moved in front, clinching the triumph a few minutes later on his serve. Tommy Paul needed 67 minutes to beat Ji Sung Nam 6-1, 6-4, playing well on both serve and return to kick off the title chase in style. Gianluca Mager toppled Ryan Harrison in three sets, while Thiago Monteiro bested Thomaz Bellucci in an all-Brazilian clash.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026
- Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
