2026 ATP Los Cabos Open Bracket Analysis
Quarter 1
Lehecka is the No. 1 seed in Los Cabos, given the first round bye in Quarter 1. While he should have no issues reaching the quarterfinals, there are plenty of names riddled in his section that could cause issues if they get hot. While Lehecka should be fine to make a quarterfinal appearance, Darwin Blanch is always a prime upset-alert candidate, but not enough for us to have serious concern for.
The names that scare us lie under Lehecka’s section in Jenson Brooksby and Grigor Dimitrov. Again, the conviction still lies with Lehecka but both names are more than capable of reaching the semifinals with solid form. Both have difficult Round 1 French opponents, however, with Dimitrov getting rising prospect Moise Kouame and Brooksby getting Corentin Moutet. With the unpredictability between those matches, Lehecka is the smart play but don’t be surprised if the bottom of Quarter 1 causes chaos.
Quarter 2
Francisco Cerundolo has a nice path set up for him in Quarter 2, the event’s No. 3 seed and getting the first round bye. Gabriel Diallo is his likely Round 2 opponent, while the winner of Michael Zheng and Martin Landaluce will likely reach the quarterfinals below. Zheng is a considerable dark horse here, reaching the third round of Wimbledon which saw a five-set win over Cam Norrie.
While the young names here seem like great sleeper picks (Diallo, Zheng and Landaluce), the entire quarter will be dictated by Cerundolo’s form. He will control the result of this quarter as the clear cut name to beat, but his inconsistency is always something to worry about. While he remains the best pick to come out of Quarter 2 with the path given along with talent, it’s always a good idea to have another name in mind when selecting a Cerundolo-led quarter, which falls on Zheng.
Quarter 3
Karen Khachanov get the first round bye in Quarter 3 as the No. 4 seed in Los Cabos. He will get a qualifier or lucky loser in Round 2 and one could argue has the easiest path to the quarterfinals of any player in any tournament this week. Above him things aren’t much more difficult for the No. 5 seed Norrie, given a very winnable match in Round 1 against Aleksandar Kovacevic before potentially facing James Duckworth in Round 2. Don’t overthink this as Khachanov should be the pick followed by Norrie, but only taking Khachanov here is perfectly fine.
Quarter 4
Luciano Darderi enters Los Cabos as the No. 2 seed and given the Quarter 4 first round bye following a solid back-to-back clay court showing over the last two weeks. The issue with blindly taking Darderi, well two issues, is both stamina and court surface change. Darderi’s success in 2026 has mainly come from the clay courts, so dealing with the hard court turnover will be something to monitor for him. Also, flying back to North America to play after two weeks of long and grueling matches (he reached both finals) is going to be something he will have to battle as well.
The draw is set up nicely for him, though, with Adam Walton or Dalibor Svrcina his Round 2 opponent. Above him the winner of Shapovalov and Rinky Hijikata would be the only real concern, with the former being a serious threat to consider if you worry about Darderi’s fatigue or court surface change. Shap thrives on hard courts (more so indoors) and is the defending champion.
Tournament Pick: Karen Khachanov +550
Sleeper Pick: Denis Shapovalov +1200

2026 WTA Memphis Classic Bracket Analysis
Quarter 1
Ekaterina Alexandrova is the No. 1 seed in Memphis, at the very top of the brackets in Quarter 1 with a Round 1 meeting against an unnamed qualifier. This is a great event for her to continue finding her form, inconsistent this season but has played better in recent weeks. Caty McNally is the No. 6 seed and the other top name in this quarter. McNally is never a bad sleeper to consider, but the conviction she goes on a run would be better suited for a clay court event. Kimberly Birrell has shown solid form on hard courts this season, a sleeper to consider outside Alexandrova who really has no excuse not to reach the quarterfinals.
Quarter 2
Zeynep Sonmez will get the top spot in Quarter 2 as the No. 4 seed in Memphis, given a solid path to reach the quarterfinals where things could get murky. Peyton Stearns enters as the No. 7 seed, the top name at the bottom of Quarter 2 and the biggest threat to Sonmez making a semifinal appearance. This quarter should be between those two in a potential quarterfinal encounter, but Solana Sierra has shown flashes of solid form this season and could cause a bump in Stearns’ path. Of the two, Sonmez’s path is a bit more simple based on the presence of Sierra in Stearns’ section – so we’ll lean with her.
Quarter 3
Quarter 3 should be fun, unless you’re one of the players in it, otherwise it’s a gauntlet. Yuliia Starodubtseva is the No. 8 seed and at the top of the quarter against Sloane Stephens. While Staro should win that match, Stephens is more than capable of surprising an opponent or two for a home country event. Staro should win that match, however, and therefore has a nice path to go far should she get by the future Hall of Famer. The bottom of this quarter is a bit more tricky.
Katie Volynets is set to take on Viktorija Golubic in Round 1, a match where the winner will have a great opportunity to reach the quarterfinals. Reese Brantmeier and a qualifier lie above them, so unless you are sold on Staro walking out of this quarter, it’s probably best to wait on the results of Volynets vs. Golubic. The winner will have a great path (and value), but if picking between the two now we’d side with Golubic to go further than Volynets although we’re not sold she will actually get past Volynets.
Quarter 4
Another tough part of the draw is Quarter 4 where McCartney Kessler is the No. 2 seed and top name at the very bottom. While she should get by her first round opponent in Renata Zarazua, things get difficult in Round 2 where she potentially faces the winner of Talia Gibson and Tatjana Maria. The former is much more concerning as Maria’s slice and dice game isn’t very lethal on the hard courts. Above Kessler is another difficult part of the draw with Anastasia Zakharova facing Linda Fruhvirtova, a match where the winner suddenly becomes a serious sleeper.
Camila Osoiro is the name to watch, however, as the No. 5 seed and given a qualifier in Round 1. On paper, she should reach the quarterfinals to face Kessler and actually has a case to make for the easier path of the two. While the winner of Zakharova-Fruhvirtova can upset Osorio, Gibson is the real sleeper to worry about with solid hard court results and form this season.
Tournament Pick: Ekaterina Alexandrova +375
Sleeper Pick: Zeynep Sonmez +1400
