The Tournament

Delray Beach hosts the world's only combined ATP World Tour/ATP Champions Tour event. The 2016 Champions Tour event featured a Team USA vs. Team International competition, which included James Blake, Mardy Fish, Wayne Ferreira and Sebastien Grosjean.

Juan Martin Del Potro made his long-awaited return to the tour here in 2016 and begins his 2017 campaign here again.

Milos Raonic is the top seed going into the tournament.

About Delray Beach:

Known worldwide as a vibrant, intimate town with big city sophistication, Delray Beach is a gem of South Florida, directly on the Atlantic Ocean. The city has upscale shops, fine restaurants, nighttime entertainment and, of course, the incomparable beauty of nearly two miles of award-winning beaches.

Great to see Juan Martin back on the courts! He's playing Anderson, so they're on serve so far: 3-3.

DP looks very good. Breaks the Anderson serve twice and leads 6-4 3-1

Delpo takes it 6/4 6/4

 

[Moxie]

Del Potro just beat Anderson in straights. It's a little hard to judge his game in a battle of serves. He's still using the BH slice, but it seems to be more strategic, because the 2-hander was used effectively. It'll be interesting to seem him in a match where he has to rally more.

DY Jr took out Dr Ivo (Evil)... last week he defeated Isner in Memphis


I see Haas is back playing again :clap but unfortunately lost in the 3rd set to Nikoloz Basilis(too many syllables).

@britbox deceitfully omits Juan Martin del Potro´s comeback win, still bitter about Maradona´s "Mano de Dios"... get over it, man!

Lol. He was just wrapping it up when I posted the rest of the results...

But this is for you @mrzz



I'm not bitter... Welsh, not English

But that goal was just enough to put Maradona over Pele in my all time lists at the time

I like Maradona but I hope that it was only "at the time". Pelé is in a league of his own and I don´t even know how to start a conversation about it.
