Third seed Tommy Paul and the unseeded Jordan Thompson will battle each other in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Delray Beach Open. A semifinal showdown with either Frances Tiafoe or Flavio Cobolli will then await the winner. Jordan Thompson is having an impressive start to the year. He has so far compiled an 8-4 record and has registered six of his victories on hard courts. Three of his defeats however have also come on the surface. The Australian, who is now up to 40th in the live ranking, a new career high, is in his third quarterfinal this season. His run to the semifinals in Brisbane remains the highlight of his career. Thompson has the head-to-head advantage in this fixture. He defeated Paul the only other time they squared off, which was five seasons ago in Hertogenbosch. The 29-year-old defeated the qualifier Nicolas Moreno in straight sets in the second round.

Tommy Paul has advanced to the last eight in Delray for the third successive time. He made the semifinals in 2022 but was eliminated in this round last season. The American will be eager for a deeper run in this event with his current form likely to see him do it. Paul has won his last five matches and arrived in Delray after triumphing in Dallas on an indoor hard court. He has carried this momentum and won his tournament opener against compatriot Alex Michelsen in three sets. This was the current world number 14’s eighth win in 10 outings this year. Four of his wins have been registered on hard courts. Paul has now advanced to the quarterfinals in three of the four events he has participated in so far.
