Veterans Fabio Fognini and Feliciano Lopez are also in the mix, while young talents like Brandon Nakashima and Tomas Martin Etcheverry will look to make an impact. The tournament lost a bit of star power following the withdrawals of Diego Schwartzman and John Isner.
Nevertheless, it's a strong field showcasing the depth of ATP talent. Here's all the information you need to know about the tournament:
What is the Los Cabos Open?
A relatively new addition to the ATP circuit, the inaugural edition of the Los Cabos Open was held in 2016. The tournament was organized with a view to revitalizing the tennis scene in Latin America. It's hosted in Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, Mexico.
Ivo Karlovic won the debut edition, with Sam Querrey, Fabio Fognini, Diego Schwartzman and Cameron Norrie joining him in the winner's circle over the years. Starting with this year's edition, the tournament will be held at the Cabo Sports Complex. The main stadium of the new venue has a seating capacity of 3500 spectators, while the second largest stadium will seat 1200 fans.
