The Abierto Los Cabos is considered the largest and most important tennis event in Latin America and many of the men’s top heavyweights are returning to this stunning tennis tournament in the hope of honing their craft in preparation for the U.S. Open.

Britain’s Cameron Norrie was crowned the champion here last year against fledgling Brandon Nakashima and is looking to make it two on the bounce. While Daniil Medvedev returns after the Russian was forced to miss Wimbledon in a much-talked-about controversial decision.
