• In the last eight years, the German has only missed one edition of the Mexican tournament, where he was champion in 2021
• Alexander has already surpassed 500 ATP victories

Mexico City, November 10, 2025. Germany’s Alexander Zverev, currently ranked No. 3 in the world, will return once again to Mexico next February for what will be his eighth appearance at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel presented by HSBC. 

Zverev has participated in the Mexican tournament since 2018 and has only missed one edition in the last eight years. During this period, the German player played two finals in Acapulco and won the title in 2021 when he defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas. 

Throughout his career, Alexander has won more than 500 matches and will be looking for his 25th title next season. The ATP 500 in Acapulco gives him the chance to win a championship that would make him one of the most successful tennis players in recent years. 

The link between Zverev and Acapulco has become a tradition for Mexican fans, so in the 2026 edition he will once again seek to reach the third round of the tournament, something he has not done since the 2021 edition.

Good start at the ATP Finals

Despite struggling with injuries throughout the year and winning only one title in 2025 (Munich), the German is enjoying a strong end to the season. This week he is competing in the Nitto ATP Finals, which are being held in Turin, Italy. He has won the year-end tournament twice, in 2018 and 2021.

He won his first match against Ben Shelton. In his group are Italy’s Jannick Sinner, world No. 2, and Canada’s Félix Auger-Aliassime, who has made a significant comeback in his career. 

Mishka, his number one fan

He regularly shares the good times he has with his pet Mishka, a dog who accompanies him to several of his tournaments on the ATP tour and who has gone viral because she shows him her affection after every match and during his breaks.

Zverev is known for being an animal lover and whenever he can, he supports animal adoption and welfare campaigns.
