Terrific stuff from Sam Querrey - he's played some attacking tennis tonight and not been afraid to take shots! 

Sam Querrey beats Rafael Nadal 6-3, 7-6 to win the Abierto Mexicano Telcel! 

04:50 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Mini break to Sam Querrey and then Nadal absolutely sends that FH wild!

At 6-3, it's now championship point Sam Querrey!

04:48 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Anticipating a cross court return from Querrey, Nadal stands near the centre of the baseline. And Querrey sends one down the line! Smart hitting. 3-3 in the TB

04:47 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

WOW! Querrey runs into the net and Nadal mishits, but manages. Querrey goes again. Nadal JUST finds the corner 

04:43 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Second set tiebreak time! 

04:40 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

What a passing shot from Rafa! He's sent that beautifully and that forehand was absolutely sublime. 6-5 Rafa as Querrey serves now to stay in the set and possibly prevent a decider...

04:35 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Nadal is generating break points, but not doing too much with them. Conversion has been quite poor. Now we're at 5-5 on serve and Querrey's being aggressive and a half! He has been playing with intent and then some in this match.

04:32 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

We're still on serve here in the second but my goodness me, there's a fight and a half! Nadal's up 5-4 in this set, on his serve, as Querrey serves to stay in. Will we see a decider played here?

04:25 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Advantage Querrey after FOUR break points to Nadal.. a whopper here.

04:23 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Nadal builds up THREE break points, and he's still unable to capitalize! Querrey's low-balling and he brings it back to deuce.

04:18 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

It's not looking easy for the World No. 6 yet.

04:18 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Rafael Nadal 4-3 Sam Querrey on serve. 

04:13 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Clean as you like with that forehand.

Fun stat for you - Querrey won 94% of his first serves in Set 1. 

04:09 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Querrey takes Nadal's forehand and twists it entirely. A beautiful shot from the American down the tramlines and we're at deuce. Querrey's not going to give Nadal the service hold easy..

04:05 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Querrey seals that game with an ace down the line. Clean as you like. And it's a service hold to love for the American, which will give him some crucial confidence.

04:01 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Querrey returns out wide and Rafa holds on, leading 2-1 on serve.

04:00 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Nearly another break point for Querrey there, and he shanks it. Clean hitting, or cleaner, from Rafa and we're back at deuce.

03:56 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Game Nadal. Is he going to pick it up now?? That was an intense game and a half from both Querrey and Nadal and it goes to multiple deuces before Querrey claws to hold on. 1-1

03:46 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Sam Querrey wins the first set 6-3!

03:46 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

What  a shot! That was some stunning placement from Sam Querrey. A near-reflex reaction to Nadal, and the American runs into the net with a great cc forehand. 

First set to Sam Querrey! 

03:44 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Sam Querrey breaks Nadal - and he breaks to love with a great return! Now Querrey will serve for the set. Talk about your crucial moments, and the American has picked them well.

03:37 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Rafael Nadal runs into the net - and Querrey's nowhere near. A crucial love hold for Rafael Nadal right here and one he'll be happy with.

Scores level at 3-3.

03:35 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

No breaks of serve so far as Querrey leads 3-2 on serve. Nadal, for all his dominance so far, hasn't looked as flawless as he would've liked today, sending uncharacteristic shots wide.

03:27 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Nadal looks like he's going to hold to love....and that doesn't happen as Querrey battles back and Nadal sends a couple of his serves wide. He's held to level though.

03:21 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Querrey starts serving, and holds quickly.

03:15 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Nadal has been in the form of old lately - he fought through to reach the finals of the Australian Open, finishing runner-up to longtime rival Roger Federer. 

03:15 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

They're out on court! 

03:06 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Sam Querrey became the first American to make the finals here in Acapulco, and has become known for his big serves.

03:06 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

Kyrgios looked dominant to start against Sam Querrey yesterday, but looked to tank in the later stages, perhaps, losing the second set and then the decider.

03:06 (GMT)5 MAR 2017

World No. 6 Nadal is the second seed here and now the highest remaining one after Novak Djokovic's QF loss to Nick Kyrgios.
