Main draw action continues Tuesday at the 2026 Delray Beach Open, with defending champions, past finalists, and primetime contenders taking the court as the tournament hits full stride. Here’s what to watch — plus Tuesday’s full order of play and Monday’s results.
Past Champions, Finalists In Action Tuesday
Defending champion Miomir Kecmanovic and 2014 winner Marin Cilic kick off their Delray tournaments on Tuesday, along with past finalists Tommy Paul (2024) and Sebastian Korda (2021).
This is Cilic’s first Delray Beach Open since his victory, and 12 years later he still has a five-match win streak here. Kecmanovic’s win streak in Delray Beach is four matches, as he received a walkover en route to the title last year.

See the Tennis Windows in Downtown Delray Beach and Vote for Your Favorite!
The Delray Beach Open and the Downtown Development Authority have joined forces for a tennis-themed window decor contest among downtown businesses called “Love at First Sight”, a nod to the love score in tennis and Valentine’s week.
The public gets to vote for the winner through Tuesday by using a QR code in each business’ window, with the winner announced on Stadium Court on Wednesday, Feb. 18. Decorations will stay up throughout tournament week.

Miomir Kecmanovic and Brandon Nakashima, who teamed up for the first time at last year’s DBO and won the title, continued the magic on Monday. Trailing 7-6, 5-2 to top seeds Jan Zielinski and Luke Johnson, they fought back to win 6-7(2), 7-6(3), 10-7 to stay undefeated as a team.
