- —Staff report

The Delray Beach Open got more good news Friday when world No. 13 Sam Querrey committed to play in the 2018 tournament, scheduled for Feb. 16-25 at the Delray Beach Stadium & Tennis Center.

Also, 2014 Wimbledon quarterfin­alist Nick Kyrgios, of Australia, and top-50 Canadian teenager Denis Shapovalov will be playing in the Delray ATP World Tour event for the first time.

The three players join world No. 9 and defending champion Jack Sock, world No. 11 and 2011 Delray Beach champion Juan Martin del Potro, of Argentina, and former world No. 4 Milos Raonic, of Canada, who all previously committed.

And don’t worry, 16-time Grand Slam champion and four-time Delray Beach champion Bryan brothers will be in the doubles field, as usual.

“I am super excited to make my debut in Delray Beach,” Kyrgios said in a new release. “It is a place I know well and have very fond memories of as I’ve spent a lot of time in the local area over the past few years. I feel very comfortabl­e in Delray, and I look forward to stepping out in front of the great crowds and putting on a good show for the fans.”

Kyrgios is coached by a group that includes former ATP pro and Boca Raton resident Sebastien Grosjean.

Tickets can be purchased online at yellowtenn­isball .com, at the Delray Beach Open Box Office (30 NW First Ave.) or at 561-330-6000.
