The Delray Beach Open announced today a new addition to the 2026 tournament – three-time Grand Slam finalist Casper Ruud of Norway.
The ATP 250 tournament runs Feb. 13-22 at the Delray Beach Stadium & Tennis Center. Tickets are available now at DelrayBeachOpen.com.
Ruud, currently ATP world No. 12, has been ranked as high as No. 2 and reached the finals at the 2022 French and US Opens and the 2023 French Open. This year he won the biggest title of his career at the Masters 1000 in Madrid, defeating two-time DBO champion Taylor Fritz enroute to the clay court title. The tournament previously announced that Fritz will be returning to the DBO next year looking for a record third championship.
“I’m really excited to be coming to Delray Beach for the first time,” said Ruud, who owns 13 ATP Tour titles. “I’ve heard the fans and atmosphere are amazing, and I can’t wait to get out there and enjoy the experience. It’s always fun to play in a new place, and I’m looking forward to being part of such a great event.”
Ruud’s father and coach, Christian Ruud, played the tournament in 1998 when it was held in Coral Springs, seven months before Casper’s birth. Twenty-eight years after his father’s appearance, the younger Ruud will make his debut. Casper recently announced he is expecting his first child.
