Mexico's lower house of Congress has approved the spending portion of the 2024 budget and sent it to the president for signing. The budget does not include extra funding for the recovery of hurricane-hit Acapulco. The city is still reeling from the effects of Category 5 Hurricane Otis, which hit Acapulco two weeks ago. The Mexican president expressed confidence that the Acapulco ATP 500 tournament could go on as scheduled, with a 'large part' of the hurricane-affected homes and areas rebuilt by then.

The city of Acapulco is now working to recover from the devastation caused by the hurricane, which went from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane in a record 12 hours.
