The highlight of the Mexican Open Acapulco 2020 is definitely the comeback of Rafael Nadal to the tennis courts after the conclusion of the Australian Open 2020.
The World No. 2 crashed out in the quarter-final stages of the year's first Grand Slam against Dominic Thiem. A two-time champion at the Mexican Open tournament when it was a clay-court event, Rafa Nadal will look forward to getting his hand on a title here at the Acapulco Princess Mundo Imperial.
Nadal had suffered a crushing loss in the hands of Australian Nick Kyrgios in the finals of the ATP 500 event in 2019. This year, as well, the threat of young Aussie, Alex de Minaur awaits the 19-time Grand Slam champion. However, Nadal will be playing fellow countryman, Pablo Andujar in his opening round match.
There defending champion of the tournament, Nick Kyrgios will be beginning his campaign against a very in-form Ugo Humbert from France. Further, into the tournament, the sixth-seeded player could possibly meet young Canadian sensation, Felix Auger Aliassime, who is coming into Acapulco riding on the success of finishing as finalists at Rotterdam and Marseille.
Alexander Zverev would also be looking to get back to his winning ways as he will clash against Australia's Jordan Thompson in the opening round match. Stan Wawrikna, on the other hand will have to face American, Frances Tiafoe to set things off in the right direction for himself.
All in all, the excitement on the hard court turf of the Acapulco Princess Mundo Imperial is bound to be intense with top-class players like Rafael Nadal, Nick Kyrgios, Alexander Zverev and Stan Wawrinka in the mix. The week ahead promises a lot of intense tennis action on our cards.
