Ranked No. 76, Kovacevic has had a breakout week in Los Cabos. The American qualifier received only a straight-sets win over Luis Carlos Alvarez and earlier over Juan Pablo Ficovich to get to the semifinals. The 26-year-old has been riddled with bad luck on the ATP-level competition circuit this year (6-11),however, he secured two Challenger titles in 2025 and a finalist position in Montpellier earlier this year. Kovacevic has earned attention for his sportsmanship at Wimbledon 25 and strong mental fortitude. This week, he took that confidence one step further on the hard courts of Mexico.
