Novak Djokovic has decided to take a wild-card entry into next week's ATP500 event in Acapulco. He will join a draw that includes Rafael Nadal, Milos Raonic, Marin Cilic and Dominic Thiem.

The Serb's entry is new territory as his only other Latin American performance was at last year's Rio Olympics where he fell to Juan Martin Del Potro, who will also be in next week's draw. 

“This is great news for the tournament. We’re very pleased to have the world number two in the Acapulco field,” said tournament director Raul Zurutuza. “Novak and Rafa are two great players that give very important value to the tournament. Also having Raonic, Del Potro and Goffin in the field will make this a great event.”
