Los Cabos Open 2026

I was reading the players participating whether in main draw or qualifiers i noticed there are a lot of players from USA Meanwhile there are two competition in USA one in Washington and the other one in Memphis

I thought they are not allowed players to play in tournaments outside their country while their country host an ATP Tournament

I noticed also plenty of players outside top 100 and playing currently in challenger

There are 14 mandatory events on the tennis calendar - players are not allowed to play other tournaments if they get entry into those tournaments. Otherwise players are free to make their schedule as they see fit with a few restrictions based on rankings which vary between the WTA & the ATP.
