While at least one Liga MX soccer match has been postponed amid unrest in Mexico, the ATP Tour's Mexico Open is expected to proceed as scheduled, event organizers said Monday.
Violent clashes have unfolded in multiple cities since cartel leader Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes was killed Sunday by the country's special forces during an operation 100 miles from the city of Guadalajara.
Fires have been set to vehicles, homes and businesses as a response by the cartel. Blockades of burning cars have been set as far north as the Mexico-United States border in Tijuana.
Monday's Liga MX match between host Queretaro and FC Juarez was postponed indefinitely. The stadium is 100 miles north of Mexico City and just over 200 miles east of Guadalajara.
That venue is also scheduled to play host to a friendly between Mexico's national team and Iceland on Wednesday. There has been no update to the status of that game.
Front Office Sports reported that a women's match between Chivas and America just outside of Guadalajara also has been postponed.
The Mexico Open men's tennis tournament is scheduled to start Monday in Acapulco with organizers denying reports that the event has been postponed. Acapulco is over 500 miles south of Guadalajara.
'The supposed cancellation of the event due to security issues in Jalisco is false,' Mexico Open organizers said in a release, according to the BBC. '... We remain in coordination and constant communication with federal, state, and municipal authorities, under the established security protocols.'
The WTA Tour's Merida Open is also set to begin on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula in an area not affected by violence.
