Steen Kirby, Tennis Atlantic
The 2018 ATP Los Cabos 250 in Mexico is a fun event with plenty at stake, here is your look at the draw with predictions.
Top Half:
Juan Martin Del Potro will be the favorite against Marcos Giron or Marcelo Arevalo. Sam Querrey should get past Lucas Gomez and Bernard Tomic/Egor Gerasimov before falling to an in-form JMDP in the quarters.

I’ll back Ryan Harrison to defeat Peter Polansky and Ernesto Escobedo/Michael Mmoh to reach the quarters. Harrison is coming off the Atlanta final while Polansky just won a challenger final in Canada. Harrison over Fabbiano is my pick in the quarters.

Fabio Fognini has an interesting section. Fognini begins against Gilles Muller/Quentin Halys, Taylor Fritz should defeat a struggling Thanasi Kokkinakis, then Yoshihito Nishioka/Gastao Elias. Fognini over Fritz looks like a sensible pick for the section.

Adrian Mannarino should beat Ivo Karlovic/Elias Ymer, both of whom are struggling. I’ll back Norrie, a semifinalist in Atlanta, to get past Mannarino in the quarters.
