The ATP 250 of Los Cabos enters its final day of competition, and the two tennis players who will fight for the title are already known: Denis Shapovalov and Arthur Géa. Both players need a title desperately to make a leap, both in confidence and in the ATP ranking. The Canadian is seeking his fifth ATP title, while the Frenchman wants to debut his trophy cabinet in his first final as a professional player. No matter what happens, both start the North American hard court swing in the best possible way, sending a clear message.

Denis Shapovalov and Arthur Géa look to cap off a great week in Los Cabos

Shapovalov arrives after a great week in Mexico. He debuted with a comeback against Hikita (2-6, 6-3, 6-2), found his rhythm against Rodrigo Pacheco (6-3, 6-2), maintained good feelings against Dalibor Svrcina (6-4, 6-2), and in the semifinals managed to defeat a familiar opponent in Cameron Norrie (6-3, 5-7, 6-4). Furthermore, if he wins the title, he would rise to 39th place, while he started the tournament ranked 68th in the ATP.

On the part of the Frenchman, he finds himself with a golden opportunity to lift his first title. No one expected him to get this far, but little by little he progressed through the rounds. First, he overcame a challenging debut against Soon Kwon (6-4, 6-7(10), 6-2), then had to come back against Michael Zheng (0-6, 6-4, 6-0), and he did the same in the quarterfinals against Fran Cerúndolo (6-7(11), 6-4, 6-0).

Meanwhile, in the semifinals, he also had to endure against Coleman Wong, whom he defeated 7-6(7), 6-3). A hypothetical triumph for the Frenchman would see him rise from 127th position, where he started the week, to 81st place. And even if he loses, he has already secured his spot in the Top 100 for the first time, specifically at 95th place.
