Two American rising stars, Learner Tien and Brandon Nakashima, will return to the Delray Beach Open when the ATP 250 tournament celebrates its 35th anniversary Feb. 12-21, 2027. Tickets are available at DelrayBeachOpen.com.
Both Tien and Nakashima have risen into the Top 20 of the ATP Rankings this season, with the 20-year-old Tien climbing No. 12 in August and the 25-year-old Nakashima reaching No. 16 following the US Open.
Tien, 20, is currently ranked No.18, while Nakashima, 25, is currently ranked No.17.
Tien’s 2026 season was also highlighted by a Grand Slam quarterfinal at the Australian Open, and at ATP Masters 1000s, he was a semifinalist in Montreal and a quarterfinalist in Indian Wells. The Irvine native will make his third appearance in Delray Beach, where he was a semifinalist earlier this year.
Nakashima hit his stride this summer during the North American hardcourt swing, going 12-3 with a final at the ATP Masters 1000 in Montreal and semifinal showings at the ATP Masters 1000 in Cincinnati and Washington, D.C.
Nakashima, who joined forces with coach Wayne Ferreira before the grass court seasson, won 16 of 20 matches at one point.
A two-time Delray Beach Open quarterfinalist, Nakashima will be making his fifth appearance at the event.
Two-time champion Taylor Fritz committed to the event last week.
