The Delray Beach Open is giving you the opportunity to qualify for the tournament through its Survivor Series pre-qualifying tournaments set for November and January.
The winner from each event receives a wild card spot into the qualifying tournament for the 2022 ATP 250 event February 12-13th, where four players from qualifying earn entry into Delray Beach’s main draw, February 14-20th.
Survivor I is a USTA Men’s Open event held November 13-16th at the Delray Beach Swim & Tennis Club.
Survivor II is a UTR event staged January 1-4th at the Pro World Tennis Academy.
Both events will be a single elimination singles draw with no-ad scoring for two tiebreak sets and a 7-point match tiebreaker if needed. All participants receive two complimentary tickets to the 2022 Delray Beach Open by VITACOST.com and a 20% off discount on individual tickets beyond that (tickets must be purchased by December 31st).
Qualifiers have enjoyed great success in Delray Beach, where four have finished as the tournament’s runner-up and three claimed the title (Ernests Gulbis-2013, Kei Nishikori-2008, Andrew Ilie-1998). American Christian Harrison coasted to three wins following the qualifying tournament to reach the Delray Beach semifinals in 2021, including an upset over No. 22 ranked and top-seeded Cristian Garin.
