About Los Cabos

Los Cabos is a municipality located at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, in the state of Baja California Sur. Mexico's fastest growing resort area offers miles of empty desert and deserted beaches. Laid-back nightlife and old-fashioned fun in the sun is the Cabos' lure.

The population is 287,000 and encompasses the towns of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo (the municipal seat), as well as the Resort Corridor that lies between the two.

The area was remote and rural until the latter 20th century, when the Mexican government began to develop Cabo San Lucas for tourism, which then spread east to the municipal seat. The main draw is the climate and geography, where desert meets the sea, along with sport fishing, resorts and golf. This tourism is by far the main economic activity with over two million visitors per year.

Fritz v Kokkanakis is a good first rounder.
Taylor gets past Thamasi K.
Kokkinakis Will lose a good chunk of points, as he was runner up last year.
He will drop out off the top 250.

I've seen this guy making waves, without watching matches. Anyone know how he is?

All 7 titles in Fabio's Carrer were won on clay, so a title here would be a new domain for him.
