Members of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), one of the most powerful and feared criminal organisations in Mexico, have torched businesses and erected burning blockades since El Mencho’s death.<\/p>\n
The Mexican Open issued a statement saying “the supposed cancellation of the event due to security issues in Jalisco is false”.<\/p>\n
It said: “The event continues as scheduled and tournament operations are proceeding normally.<\/p>\n
“We remain in coordination and constant communication with federal, state, and municipal authorities, under the established security protocols.”<\/p>\n
Britons Katie Boulter and Heather Watson are scheduled to compete in the Merida Open in Mexico this week.<\/p>\n
The event takes place in the state of Yucatan, which does not appear to have been significantly affected by the violence.<\/p>\n
The WTA said increased police presence and additional security measures have been put in place at the tournament following the incidents in Jalisco, which is about 1,000 km away. <\/p>\n
“The safety of players, staff, and spectators remains our top priority,” the women’s governing body told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n
“The tournament is operating as scheduled and there have been no reports of incidents in the region.”<\/p>\n
Boulter plays Brazil’s Beatriz Haddad Maia on Monday and Watson faces Spaniard Jessica Bouzas Maneiro on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
