- On Thursday, Terence Atmane's Mexican Open quarter-final ended after he was docked a point for a time violation as Miomir Kecmanovic prepared to serve, giving Kecmanovic the 6-3 6-3 win.

- With the win, Kecmanovic moves into the semi-finals to face Flavio Cobolli, while Frances Tiafoe plays Brandon Nakashima at the ATP 500 Mexican Open in Arena GNP Seguros, Acapulco.
- Amid the dispute, organisers were approached for comment after an official said he was told to pick up the pace, Reuters reported.
