MIFEL TENNIS OPEN 2024 Main Draw is ready



|
  • Top four seeds await opponent 
  • Mexico’s Rodrigo Pacheco to face Aleksander Vukic

Los Cabos, February 17, 2024.- The main draw for the eighth edition of the ATP 250 tournament was drawn at a ceremony headed by Geoffrey Fernandez, director of the Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo, with Jack Draper as a guest. 

The top seeds already know their possible path to the title in Los Cabos.

World No. 6 Alexander Zverev will make his debut as the top seed from the top of the draw and, like Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, defending champion and current No. 10 in the ranking, awaits his opponent for the second round. The two could meet should they advance to the final.

One of the most striking first round matches is precisely that of young Briton Jack Draper (No. 51), who will face Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis (No. 79), who continues his quest to recover his best level and does not fail in his visits to Los Cabos.

Also Australian Alex de Miñaur (No. 11), third seed and finalist in 2023, has the goal of repeating his success in Mexican tournaments after winning Acapulco, but first he must wait for the winner of the duel between young 

American Alex Michelsen (No. 75) and Frenchman Constant Lestienne (No. 104). 

In the lower part of the draw, Norwegian Casper Ruud (No. 12) is the fourth seed of the Cabo Tennis Open and could meet in the third round with Japanese Taro Daniel (No. 63) or American Marcos Giron (No. 52), recent finalist at the Dallas Open. A match against Stefanos Tsitsipas is on the horizon.

Another Australian representative is Rinky Hijikata (No. 84), who will star in a complicated challenge against Miomir Kecmanovic (No. 40). Meanwhile, 2019 champion Diego Schwartzmann (No. 116), who received one of the invitations to the tournament, is waiting  for a first-round qualifying opponent. If he advances he could face Mexican Ernesto Escobedo, who also received a wild card and will be facing Australian Jordan Thompson (No. 42) to stay in the tournament.

Mexican junior Rodrigo Pacheco (No. 693), was drawn in the lower part of the draw and will have to face Australian Aleksander Vukic (No.69). Should he advance, he will face a tough challenge against Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Geoffrey Fernandez, director of the Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo, was excited about the novelty of the date, highlighted the new match schedules that the weather allows and confessed his interest in the first round matches “Having a back to back has been a challenge, but everything is going very well and we are very happy. We have a great draw, very competitive with three Top 10 and very even duels in the first round. Also remember that we have new things at the venue. We are looking forward to this edition and we are grateful to the media present,” said Geoffrey Fernandez, director of the Mifel Tennis Open by telcel Oppo.

The main draw activity starts on Monday, February 19 at 4:00 p.m. local time. On the Saturday and Sunday prior to that, the qualifying tournament will be held, which will distribute four tickets to the main draw.
