Individual session and series packages are available now www.DelrayBeachOpen.com.
A variety of intimate, unique seating options including front court seating, shaded Veranda seating, Court Box and reserved seating are available.
The Bryan brothers are the winningest team in sports history. Together they won 119 titles, including 16 Grand Slams and six DBO titles. They finished as the doubles team of the year 10 times and won Olympic gold together in 2012. They will be playing the DBO Legends event for the fifth time.
Jensens doubled the fun when he stormed to the 1993 French Open title and has delighted fans ever since. While playing in Delray Beach nine times, they reached the finals twice in 1997. Since their retirement, each has worked in broadcasting and coaching. “Dual Hand Luke” Jensen can play with either hand, even working collaboratively. This will be their fourth year playing together at the Delray Legends event.
Sock retired from the pro tour in 2023, having won the DBO singles title in 2017, the doubles title in 2013 and 2018, and reached a career high of world No. 8. He has won four Grand Slam doubles and mixed doubles titles and Olympic gold and bronze. Sock has won singles and doubles titles at every top level event in Delray Beach, from USTA National 12s and 18s to ATP Tour events. All that is left for him to win here is the Legends event, where he is playing for the first time.
Querrey will play in his third Delray Beach Open Legends event after retiring from the ATP Tour in 2022. He won the DBO title in 2016 and played the event 12 times. Querrey reached a career high of No. 11, won 10 singles titles and reached the semifinals at 2017 Wimbledon. Sock and Querrey form part of the group on the Nothing Major podcast. Both are now professional pickleballers, and Querrey has developed an Instagram following with his light-hearted videos about tennis, pickleball and family life.
Haas won the DBO title in 2006 and reached No. 2 in the world, winning 15 singles titles and Olympic silver. He is playing in the Legends event for the sixth time, having won it twice. A three-time semifinalist at the Australian Open, she also reached the semifinals of Wimbledon. During his career, Haas defeated Agassi, Djokovic, Federer and Sampras at least three times each. He is now the tournament director of the ATP 1000 Masters event in Indian Wells, Calif.
