The ATP 250 tournament in Delray Beach, in the United States, played on a hard exterior, will be deprived of its defending champion. Indeed, the Pole Hubert Hurkacz is not present in the main draw. To succeed him, we could find the Briton Cameron Norrie, seeded n°1, or the American Reilly Opelka, seeded n°2. Both are exempt from the first round. Unless the Frenchman Adrian Mannarino, seeded n°7 and who inherited a qualifier for his entry into the running, creates a surprise.
