Marcos Giron and Taro Daniel, both unseeded, will face off in the first round at the 2024 Los Cabos Open. The winner will then advance to play fourth seed Casper Ruud for a place in the quarterfinals. Taro Daniel is struggling with his form and has managed just one win in his last four matches. Three of the defeats have come on hard courts. The Japanese number one is coming off a first-round exit at the Delray Beach Open. He is currently ranked 61st in the live ranking. Daniel has compiled a 7-5 record so far this year and finished as runner-up in Auckland.

Marcos Giron defeated Daniel four seasons ago in the qualifying rounds in Acapulco. With the head-to-head advantage in this fixture, the in-form American will be confident of a winning start here. Giron has registered seven of his wins in his last nine outings. He is coming off a semifinal run in Delray and before that, had finished as runner-up in Dallas. His strong start to the year has allowed him to get back amongst the ATP top 50 and set a new career high. Giron has moved up eight places in the live ranking and will start the week ranked 44th in the world.
