  • Argentine tennis player Francisco Cerúndolo will compete in Mexico's Los Cabos Open for the first time.
  • Cerúndolo expressed his long-held desire to play in Mexico, citing the tournament's good reputation and enjoyable off-court atmosphere.
  • He acknowledged the challenge of adapting to the heat and humidity, focusing on taking the tournament one match at a time.

Argentine tennis player Francisco Cerúndolo has finally fulfilled his long-standing wish to compete in Mexico by participating in the Los Cabos Open. Previously, scheduling conflicts between the ATP 500 in Acapulco and the ATP 250 in Buenos Aires, the only tournament held in Argentina, had prevented his participation.

"Honestly, I always wanted to come to Mexico because I had never been able to play here before," Cerúndolo shared. "They told me that both Los Cabos and Acapulco are very nice tournaments. Beyond how you play, the life outside the tournament, from what they told me, is very good. I go to tournaments not only because I like playing tennis, but also because I like to have a good time off the court."

Cerúndolo recognizes that the heat and humidity in the Baja California peninsula present a significant challenge at the Cabo Sports Complex. As he prepares for his fifth hard-court tournament of the season, his strategy is to adapt gradually. "In the first tournament, it's difficult to find good situations. [...] Go step by step. Day by day. Feeling more comfortable in training. The first match is always a challenge because there are people who come with more rhythm. It's never easy, so it's important to get past that first match and get into competitive rhythm," he admitted.
