Carlos Alcaraz he was between the eyebrows to deliver the coup at Wimbledon and oust Novak Djokovic, but plan your next steps now.
The Murcian is definitely designing a 2024 calendar, which will not set foot in Mexico after correcting play in two tournaments held there, the Acapulco Open and the Los Cabos Openorganizers announced Tuesday.
“Alcaraz is out, he has one year left on his contract at the Rio de Janeiro Open. Acapulco came before Rio, so obviously Los Cabos or Acapulco won’t play. We are talking to him so that he will be there in 2025,” explained the director of the Los Cabos Open, Geoffrey Fernández, in a press conference.
The 20-year-old tennis player from Murcia has been one of the main goals to consolidate the main draw of Acapulco, an ATP 500. However, in the last two years the Murcian dropped out at the last minute due to injuries after playing in Rio de Janeiro.
Alacaraz only played in the tournament in 2021, when he was still promising and fell in the first round, but in 2022 and 2023 he left the main draw hours before his debut.
Despite the fact that in this year’s edition of Acapulco the director of this tournament, Álvaro Falla, assured that the Spaniard wanted to come, in the end it would be impossible because of his association with the Brazilian Open.
“Carlitos Alcaraz and I had a conversation here. He came, visited the facilities and said he wanted to go next year“Falla revealed at the closing press conference of the Acapulco Open 2023, which is the 30th edition of the tournament.
In 2024, the organizers of both open moved the date of Los Cabos, an ATP 250, to the eighth week of the year, before Acapulcothat they dream of having some of the tennis players among the top 20 of the ATP ranking in both tournaments.
This year, Los Cabos will be held from July 31 to next August 5 and there will be a main draw led by Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, number five in the world; the Russian Karen Khachanov, 11 in the ATP ranking, and the British Cameron Norrie, 13.
