Written by Francisco Alvarez on . Posted in News, Sin categoría.

  • Before the official start of the tournament, some of the protagonists share their feelings about the destination and the week of the tournament.

Los Cabos, July 13, 2025.- Mexican Santiago Gonzalez returns to the doubles draw in search of a new title in Los Cabos, he won it in 2023. After a good season on grass, where he lifted the title in Mallorca and Stuttgart, he shares what it means to return to play in Mexico.

“Playing at home is something very special, I come from two months of being in Europe and returning to Mexico makes me very happy. I am very excited to lift the title again. For Mexicans it is a good factor to play at home and have the support of the public and without a doubt the last 10 years that I have played here has been a factor. I feel good physically and tennis wise so the next 6 months will be good. We are looking forward to it, I also hope to be at the Masters 1000 in Toronto and Cincinnati.”

For his part Rodrigo Pacheco, already familiar with the Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo, reveals what he expects from his first round duel against Australian Adam Walton. “We are expecting a great match with someone who has been in the top 100 in the world for a while, I hope to compete in the best way but I want everyone to enjoy it a lot.” He also shared his plans for the following months: “This year I will play the US Open qualification and after that I have nothing definite”.

Luis Carlos Alvarez, also 20 years old and who will make his debut in a main draw of an ATP tournament, shared his happiness. “It’s very exciting to be in an ATP main draw. It is a unique experience and I really want to do something. I’ve been dreaming about this for a long time, to play this kind of tournaments with the stands and the Mexican people supporting me. I feel very comfortable on these courts. I have to take it as motivation and not get distracted too much, it is important to know where you are and what you are achieving but you have to take it like other matches and other tournaments, with discipline and responsibility. All the players in this draw are tough and play very well”.

While the German Daniel Altmaier, in perfect Spanish that he has learned in recent years with a Mexican partner, said: “I arrived last Tuesday to enjoy a little of the atmosphere, I was among the first, I wanted to visit Los Cabos, I like the destination. I use Spanish a lot on a daily basis, I come here in my free time, I come here a lot, I could say that I am a local and I feel that I am. Here in Mexico they are very passionate, it impresses me, whenever players return to tournaments in Acapulco and Los Cabos they always talk about that atmosphere”.

Family Day in Los Cabos teaches Tennis and leaves thousands of smiles

  • The Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo celebrated the third edition of the Family Day in Los Cabos.
  • The event is part of the social responsibility actions that are a priority for the tournament.

Los Cabos, February 20, 2024.- A new edition of the Family Day was successfully held as part of the Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo 2024 being played this week in Los Cabos. 

The event brought together 95 children from Leonardo Gastelum Villalobos Elementary School and throughout a morning full of activities, our special guests celebrated a day of learning and fun through tennis.

This is part of Mextenis’ social responsibility program and is another way to make the best use of the Cabo Sports Complex (CSC) and its facilities, as tennis clinics were held for first graders, ages 6 and 7.

The Family Day is completely focused and designed to help the community of Los Cabos, especially those families in vulnerable economic situations. 

In previous editions there were talks for mothers on respectful parenting and nutrition, as well as a medical module for a general check-up, free haircuts and even dance classes. However, due to the fact that the eighth edition of the Cabo Tennis Open is held in February and not in the summer as usual, parents could not be part of the activities due to their busy schedules.

Even so, the objective remained the same, to make the little ones laugh and educate them. The aim was to get out of the routine of their daily lives and enrich their development.

For Geoffrey Fernandez, director of the ATP 250, the Family Day is vital for the Mextenis project and the tournament, as they seek to leave a legacy through sport in the destination. 

“On a personal note the social responsibility program is the most important. We bring the children and it’s making their day, seeing that happiness, is what leaves the biggest mark. Our staff has been infected and is thrilled to have these types of activities. If we have all this, we have the obligation to give. And every year we seek to innovate in actions and reach out to different parts of the local community so that everyone can enrich their experience through sports”. 

It was a day completely designed for them, since after getting started in tennis with giant and normal-sized racquets, as a game, it was time to laugh and jump with the show of Lizzie Rocks, host of Cabo Mil radio station, who entertained the little ones with her show.

PLAY FOR ALL! Social responsibility program is a priority for Mextenis

  • PLAY FOR ALL! Social responsibility program is a priority for Mextenis

Los Cabos, August 3, 2023.- Year after year the objective is not lost. Contributing to the local community of Los Cabos is a priority for the Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo and Mextenis. During the seventh edition of the ATP 250 tournament, director Geoffrey Fernandez, explained the different projects encompassed by the social responsibility area known as Play For All! and revealed details about the new program focused on children from a DIF children’s home.

“We reached a unanimous agreement with the Mayor’s Office and its agencies and considered that it was more relevant to support a home that is just starting and has many requirements. The home cares for newborn children and up to 17 year old adolescents who have many needs. Initially the project, in 2022, was to build a tennis court, but we agreed to change to this incredible new project, we are going to join the task from now on, to improve the structure and equipment of their school. Our architects have already come and made a survey with the construction,” shared Fernández excitedly.
“What was going to be invested for the field in 2022, will be added together with that of 2023. It is a long-term commitment, we consider that it is more important and leaves more of an impact on so many children. This is the best way to continue contributing to the community, what Mextenis has done since it arrived in Los Cabos,” he added.

Geoffrey Fernandez explained that no ideal land was found to install the court and after a consensus in which different authorities were also involved, it was decided that it was of greater relevance to support children and families.

In this sense, the second edition of Family Day was also held this Wednesday at the Cabo Sports Complex (CSC), where 70 local families and the children of the DIF children’s home were invited to experience a day of many emotions through the connection with sports.

“If the children today want to do outdoor activities it is impossible because of the weather, we are going to create a roof in the courtyard of their school so that they have a more adapted space. We are going to remodel all the dormitories, improve the furniture, bunk beds, closets, kitchen equipment, expansion in areas, it is an ambitious and very exciting project,” said the tournament director.
He also said that the court that was painted in a public school in the municipality was done in conjunction with the company Comex and that Mextenis will be doing the same in public areas of Acapulco in the coming years.

“At the end of each tournament we also donate sports material to schools, balls and implements, this so that the children have material for sports activities. In addition to hydration. Finally we have the work of Becar, a program in which this year we are going to give up to 65 scholarships for schools that do not have the system or software for children to receive English classes, a very important learning tool in Los Cabos,” concluded the director about the Play For All! program.
