Taylor Fritz vs Bu Yunchaokete prediction
Fritz has had a disappointing season so far, having two early-round exits in the first couple of events in the season so far. However, the American player has an excellent record at Delray Beach, having won the tournament for the last two editions in 2023 and 2024. He beat Miomir Kecmanovic and Tommy Paul in the respective finals.
Bu Yunchaokete has only played 26 matches on the ATP Tour so far. The Chinese player has just started to play at the highest level and is yet to reach a Tour final. However, he has nine hard-court titles from Challenger events and the ITF circuit.
Fritz will be the overwhelming favorite as he is the two-time defending champion and in much better form than his Chinese opponent.
Pick- Fritz to win in straight sets
