Mexican Open 2025 is ongoing, and the tournament is in full swing right now. It is a men’s ATP tournament that was first introduced in 1993, which makes the 2025 season, the 33rd edition of the competition. The tournament offers two categories, men’s singles and men’s doubles.
The 2025 edition started on 23 February and will conclude on 2 March 2025. The event is taking place in Arena GNP Seguros in Acapulco. The total prize pool is USD$2,585,410 with the singles winner receiving $483,515 and the doubles winners sharing $158,810. There are many top-seeded and notable players participating in the tournament so let’s take a look at 4 key players who could likely reach the semi-finals in the singles category.
Alexander Zverev
Alexander Zverev is the top seed at the 2025 Mexican Open and holds a strong record on hard courts that might favour him in Acapulco. He recently reached the final of the Australian Open in 2025, marking his first Grand Slam final appearance. He won the Italian Open and Paris Masters last year, so he is in great form right now. He is definitely a top contender for the title and might reach the semi-finals.
Holger Rune
Rune is the fourth seed at the Mexican Open and is currently world Number 12. He’s a professional tennis player from Denmark and has won four ATP titles. He has reached three major quarterfinals and his career-high ranking is world number 4. He has had an inconsistent run but has shown potential for brilliant form and having reached the semi-finals in the previous year, he is a strong opposition to reach the semi-finals in the Mexican Open 2025.
Ben Shelton
Ben Shelton is the fifth seed at the tournament and started his campaign at the Mexican Open by defeating Flavio Canolli in the first round. He also reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open this year, giving him an advantage of great form. He became the Number 1 American player to reach a career-high ranking of 14 making him an obvious pick for the semi-finals.
Casper Ruud
Casper Ruud has had a great season so far in 2025 as he reached the finals of the Dallas Open. He also reached the finals of the Mexican Open last year in 2024. He began the 2025 season with a strong win against Arthur Rinderknech and advanced to the second round so he could potentially also reach the semi-finals.
