• The youngsters had the opportunity to spend time with their favorite tennis players and made the most of it by giving their best effort. 
  

Acapulco, February 22, 2026.- The traditional Kids Day of the 33rd edition of the Abierto Mexicano Telcel presented by HSBC discovered the talent and discipline of dozens of children who, through various activities and competitions, created a real tennis party alongside several of the tournament’s leading players.

Year after year, the activity has become a highlight of the Sunday before the start of the tournament, as evidenced by the smiles on the faces of the little ones who showed off their skills on the court while competing with professionals. 

Between balls flying from one side of the court to the other and rackets that never stop, several tournament figures took the time to spend time with dozens of boys and girls who dream big and prove that talent has no age limit.

The energy in the stands is contagious: applause, cheers, and lots of fun for young and old alike make Kids Day a reminder that sport is also built on inspiration, closeness, and lots of fun on and off the court.

The first activity featured Mexico’s Santiago González, Germany’s Daniel Altmaier, along with Nakashima and Adam Walton, who were greeted with great enthusiasm by the crowd gathered on the main court of the GNP Seguros Arena. 

The former led the red team and the latter the blue team in an activity where they played ball and demonstrated their best skills with the racket, with Altmaier and Walton reaching the final, the German being the winner. 

For the second Kids Day activity, Norway’s Casper Ruud and Mexico’s Rodrigo Pacheco took to the court wearing red, while Mexico’s Miguel Ángel Reyes Varela and Portugal’s Nuno Borges wore blue. The game involved hitting the ball with giant wooden rackets distributed around the court, with the red team emerging victorious.

To conclude Kids Day, Australia’s Alex de Miñaur and Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who wore a Mexican national soccer team jersey, took to the court at the Arena GNP Seguros stadium to play doubles with the children.

The stands were filled with excitement as parents cheered on their children, who were thrilled to compete alongside the professional tennis players.

There was also competition among the parents in the stands, who danced to the music while the children in the stands received gifts and balls signed by the players. 

With another edition of this activity, the Telcel Mexican Open presented by HSBC reaffirms its commitment to children and ensures that they enjoy a tennis session with their favorite players, in addition to receiving prizes, gifts, and an experience they will remember for the rest of their lives.
