ATP Los Cabos Open 2022 Results, Score
Rinky Hijikata, 21, of Australia did not anticipate this week would be the week he would get his maiden ATP victory, but he was matched up against Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez, 17, in what may have been the easiest matchup of the round.
Hijikata outperformed the Mexican wild card, and after cruising to a 6-3 4-0 lead, his opponent had to withdraw due to injury, giving him a clean pass into Wednesday’s matchup against the top seed Medvedev.

Prediction
The most notable final that Medvedev appeared in in 2022 was the Australian Open. Rafael Nadal, a 21st Grand Slam champion, came back to defeat the 26-year-old after falling behind by two sets. During the grass-court season, Medvedev advanced to two finals in s-Hertogenbosch and Halle. He was defeated by Tim van Rijthoven and Hubert Hurkacz, though.
After that, the Russian participated in the Mallorca Championships and defeated Aslan Karatsev to get to the quarterfinals. However, Roberto Bautista-Agut defeated him.
This season, Hijikata has largely played on the ATP Challenger tour, as well as the ITF and futures circuit. The 21-year-old entered the Los Cabos Open’s main draw after playing just one ATP tour match to earn his spot. In this match, Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez had to quit due to injury, hence the Australian defeated him.
The clear favourite to win the match will be Medvedev. The Russian will play on the surface where he plays his best tennis after dropping two finals on grass. With his serve, groundstrokes, defensive abilities, and mobility, Medvedev makes life difficult for even the top players, and it is unlikely that he won’t challenge Hijikata frequently.
