But above all, we are ready to welcome these great players, including four tennis players in the Top 10: Zverev, Musseti, De Miñaur, champion in 2023 and 2024, and Shelton, a figure that few tournaments in the world can boast,” said Álvaro Falla, CEO of Mextenis and tournament director.
Germany’s Zverev will be looking to return to the final for the third time after losing to Nick Kyrgios in 2019 and winning the title against Stefanos Tsitsipas two years later in 2021.
Italy’s Mussetti, who reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, returns looking to add to the two titles he won in 2022. After breaking into the world’s top five, his goal is to add to his list of achievements.
Australia’s De Miñaur, who also boasts a strong showing in the first Grand Slam of the year at home and was a two-time champion in Acapulco in 2023 and 2024, has 10 titles in his career (the last one in Washington in 2025).
Rounding out the Top 10 is 23-year-old Ben Shelton, who won his first Masters 1000 in Canada in 2025, has three ATP titles to his name, and started the season on a high note after reaching the quarterfinals in Australia.
For his part, Norway’s Ruud won the Madrid Masters 1000 in 2025 and was a finalist in 2024 at the Acapulco and Los Cabos tournaments.
Meanwhile, Spain’s Davidovich Fokina, a finalist in 2025 in Acapulco, where he lost to Tomas Machac, will be back in search of his first title on the circuit after three finals last year.
Italy’s Flavio Cobolli, 23, returns after winning his first two ATP titles in 2025, and another local favorite, American Frances Tiafoe, will also be present.
The list of players and their alternates promises a week of high-level competition and entertainment at the GNP Seguros Arena. In addition, the AMT welcomed its new sponsor, Stanley. “We are confident that their products will connect very well with the fans and that this partnership will greatly enhance the experience they have at the complex,” said Falla.
Among the new features for this edition of the Abierto Mexicano Telcel presented by HSBC is a Coaches’ Congress to be held from February 23 to 25 with leading figures such as Nicolás Pereira, Leonardo Lavalle, Edgar Giffenig, David Witt, and Pedro Clar. In addition, there is a project that is a source of great pride for Mextenis.
This is Cantera CONADE, a project in conjunction with the organization and the Mexican Tennis Federation to support the development of young talents between the ages of 14 and 16. On this occasion, within the framework of the tournament, a selection process will be held for the pre-world championship to be held in April in Canada.
In addition, the schedule of activities has been expanded to offer more opportunities for families to get together and meet the players, including the presence of Argentina’s Juan Martín del Potro, the 2018 champion, who will be the event’s ambassador and will participate in activities with the public.
The traditional Kids Day is a must before the start of the main draw, along with Trote por Acapulco, a 5 km run with Adidas in support of the Construyendo foundation.
In addition, the dining area has been revamped with new guests such as Los Panchos, chef Carlos Gaytán, the first Mexican to receive a Michelin star, and even Cuervo will offer new cocktails. In addition to restaurants that have already been part of the event, such as Fisher’s, attendees will be able to enjoy high-quality local and international cuisine within the complex.
