Another known player for the Mexican public would be the 26-year-old British Cameron Norrie (No. 12), who made a big jump in his ranking after winning his first two titles in the ATP Tour in 2021; he won the Masters 1000 of Indian Wells and the ATP 250 of Los Cabos.

The Spaniard will make his second appearance in Acapulco, after winning his first Tour title in 2021 and winning the NextGen ATP Finals. His countryman, Pablo Carreño Busta (No. 21), 30-years-old and has six ATP titles, will also be present, along with another Spaniard, Pablo Ándujar (No. 57 PR).
