Sock is a Former Champion
2017 Delray Beach champion Jack Sock has been handed a wild card for this year’s tournament.
He is making his seventh appearance in the tournament and has an 8-5 tournament record. Ranked no. 143rd in the world, the American is 1-1 at the tour level this year.
Sock defeated Ilya Ivashka in the first round in Dallas, but lost to Taylor Fritz in the second round of that tournament. He had earlier featured in the Cleveland Challenger but went down in the opening round to Alex Michelsen.
Having missed out the Australian part of the season to get in right shape, Sock returned with a three-hour-plus victory over Ivashka in Dallas. He will be taking the positives from that contest and would look to build on that at Delray Beach.
A four-time champion on the tour, Sock is a former world no. 8. However injuries and poor form have seen him struggle over the last few years. But he had a decent run in 2022, when he reached two Challenger finals. He won his fourth Challenger title by winning the Savannah Open and then finished runner-up in Ilkley.
Sock’s best at the top level last year was a third round finish at Wimbledon. Can he get off to a winning start in Delray Beach?

Pecotic to Make His Main Draw Debut on the Tour
Facing Sock will be World no. 784 Matija Pecotic. The Croatian rallied from a set down to stun Tennys Sandgren in the second qualifying round on Sunday to make it to the main draw.
The left-hander will be making his Tour-level debut on Tuesday. He had won the first qualifying round against Stefan Kozlov, after the latter withdrew from the contest while trailing 6-7, 5-5.
Against Sandgren, Pecotic lost the first set after conceding the only break of the set. He bounced back in the second, breaking the world no. 223rd twice while getting broken just once. In the final set, the 33-year-old Pecotic took control of the set, breaking Sandgren twice and winning the contest 3-6, 6-3, 6-2.
In his only other tournament this year, Pecotic, who was ranked no. 206 in 2015, had qualified for the main draw of the Cleveland Challenger, but he went down in the first round.
Sock v Pecotic Prediction and Tip
Sock is far more experienced than Pecotic. He also has a superior game and it shouldn’t be a problem for the American to ease past the Croatian in the opener.
