"The ATP Mexican Open is set to continue as scheduled despite civil unrest following the death of the country's most notorious drug baron. Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, better known as 'El Mencho', died yesterday in police custody after being arrested in Jalisco state over the weekend. His death has prompted a wave of violence across Mexico, led by the country's most powerful and notorious criminal organisation - the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) - of whom El Mencho was the leader."
"It has thrown several sporting fixtures into chaos with the men's football match between Queretaro and FC Juarez and the women's clash involving Chivas and America postponed. There was concern that the Mexican Open, which is being staged in Guerrero, one of five states which the US government has advised against travelling around, would also be disrupted but tournament organisers today insisted it is business as usual."
Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as 'El Mencho', died in police custody after his arrest in Jalisco over the weekend. His death prompted a wave of violence across Mexico led by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). Several sporting fixtures were disrupted, including the men's football match between Queretaro and FC Juarez and the women's clash involving Chivas and America, both postponed. Tournament organisers of the ATP Mexican Open stated the event in Guerrero will continue as scheduled and that operations are proceeding normally under coordination with federal, state and municipal authorities and established security protocols. Top seeds include Alexander Zverev and Alex de Minaur. The Merida Open takes place in Yucatan, unaffected by the unrest; Jasmine Paolini is the top seed.
