In Los Cabos, the favorite is in the final.

Here is Tsitsipas in the final for the 27th time in his career. He will aim for a 10th title, his first on hard outdoor. To do this, he will have to dominate Alex de Minaur (19th) in the final on Sunday. The Australian, seeded number 5 in Mexico, needed three sets (6-2, 6-7 (5), 6-1) on Saturday to overcome the German Dominik Koepfer (84th) .
