One ATP 250 and two ATP 500 events are set to bring a big week of tennis to the tour, from the 26th of February to the 4th of March.
The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships and the Abierto Mexicano Telcel in Acapulco, both played on outdoor hard courts, will be the biggest events. Great Britain’s Andy Murray and USA’s Sam Querrey are the defending champions.
Then, the Brasil Open will be the only clay-court tournament of the week. Taking place in Sao Paulo, it has Uruguay’s Pablo Cuevas as the champion of the last three editions. The altitude of the town (1300 metres above sea) creates unusually quick conditions of play.
NEWS: Nick Kyrgios pulls out from Acapulco, Peter Gojowczyk replaces him.
NEWS: Croatia’s Marin Cilic withdraws from Acapulco, Donald Young takes his place.
