Here is my Preview of Los Cabos ATP 250 tournament (Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo).

Los Cabos is played on slow outdoor hard courts.

Speed Data

2024: Thompson d. Ruud

2023: Tsitsipas d. De Minaur

2022: Medvedev d. Norrie

Weather

Los Cabos will be hot and humid this week. Expect daytime highs of 30–32°C (86–90°F) and nighttime lows of 25–27°C (77–81°F). Winds will mostly be light to moderate, around 15–30 km/h (9–19 mph), with a sea breeze developing most afternoons. Humidity will stay relatively high at 55–65%, making it feel hotter than the actual air temperature. Most days should be partly sunny, but there is a chance of afternoon or evening thunderstorms, particularly early and late in the week. Rain, if it occurs, is likely to be brief and localized rather than an all-day event.

Players' quotes

Shapovalov, 2025: "It’s jumpy, bouncy and the balls are moving through the court so it’s good conditions for me." "The conditions are very different from Acapulco which was the slowest court I’ve ever played on. I think the different balls (Wilson) help the ball move through the court much more here than in Acapulco.”

Duckworth, 2025: "I really enjoy playing here in Mexico. I played a few Challengers here earlier this year and I love the conditions here. The ball is jumping around here quite a bit and it’s very lively."

A. Zverev, 2024: "I thought today it was extremely cold and very slow, it was difficult to hit winners so I had to stay patient."

Vukic, 2024: "The conditions got really slow," said Vukic. "We were playing with used balls in the tiebreaks, which added to it."

Purcell, 2024: "It feels like the difference between night and day here is quite different, so I wasn't quite liking how slow and dead the balls felt late at night."

Tsitsipas, 2024: "Last year I suffered, it was very hot and humid. Much better this year, friendlier conditions for the body, they are some of the best to play tennis."

Tsitsipas, 2023: “The heat and the humidity here difficult but the night sessions create a good atmosphere.” “I like to play in the heat and in extreme conditions, I think I adapt relatively well, I have no problem, it is humid but we have a good escape with the sea nearby between games or before practice.”

Medvedev, 2022: “The most important factor is that I like these balls (Wilson), and I like the hard court (Solflex).”

Aliassime, 2022: “I like to play under these conditions, fast and high rebounding, they are good for my game.”

Norrie, 2022: “The court is fast and suits my game.”

Rodionov, 2021: “I found it incredibly difficult with today's conditions from the first rally, especially with the high humidity.”

Heliovaara, 2021: "Due to the hot and humid climate matches start here at 6pm so most matches are played under lights. Even at night, however, the temperature does not drop very much below 30 degrees."

Summary

Among the slowest hard court tournament in the circuit..

The bounce of the ball is very high.

Humidity tends to be an important variable here. And if we add temperatures of 30 degrees, it can be a nightmare for many players.

Very different conditions between the day and the night. During the night and in the Central court, the conditions are even more slow.
