Andy Roddick, the 2003 US Open champion and former ATP World No. 1, is set to return to Delray Beach for the 2027 Delray Beach Open Legends event, per an announcement on the tournament's Instagram. The Legends weekend is scheduled for February 12–14.
Roddick will compete alongside other former tour professionals as part of the Legends lineup, according to the post. The full field has not yet been announced.
The Legends format at professional tennis events operates as a parallel card — a draw built for the segment of the audience whose attachment runs back to an earlier generation of players. Roddick, who held the world No. 1 ranking and took the US Open title in 2003, is a credible lead name for that slot: a player whose accomplishments are on the record, not just the circuit's nostalgia calendar.
For Delray Beach, where the Open has embedded professional tennis firmly in the winter sporting schedule, a Legends booking of this profile gives the February weekend a sharper draw. Roddick's career placed him among the most prominent American men's players of his era, and his name carries genuine weight with an audience that attends Legends matches expecting competitive play alongside the ceremony.
The February 12–14 window seats the Legends weekend at the front of the tournament's run. Whether the organizers announce additional names will shape how much attention the bracket itself generates before the main draw gets underway. As of the Instagram announcement, Roddick is named; the rest of the Legends field is described only as other former tennis stars.
