Alex De Minaur Favored to Dismiss Patrick Kypson in Acapulco First Round
Alex De Minaur enters the ATP Mexican Open in Acapulco as a heavy favorite, and alex de minaur is predicted to beat Patrick Kypson in straight sets on Day 1. The forecast reflects De Minaur’s recent form and Kypson’s road through qualifying.
Alex De Minaur the standout seed
De Minaur is the tournament’s second seed and is listed in the preview as world No. 6 and a two-time Acapulco champion, arriving off a title run in Rotterdam where he lost just one set en route to the trophy. Those credentials are central to the prediction that De Minaur will dispatch Kypson quickly; the piece’s explicit pick is “De Minaur in 2. ”
Kypson’s qualifying form and the challenge ahead
Patrick Kypson earned his place in the main draw with two strong wins in qualifying, including a second-round victory over Coleman Wong, who had averaged 14 aces per match in Delray Beach the previous week. The preview notes that Acapulco’s slower conditions and Wong’s 63% first-serve point win in that loss underscored why Kypson advanced through qualifying, but the writer still placed De Minaur clearly on another level.
Day 1 card and other early picks
The tournament preview lists seven first-round matches scheduled for Day 1 and highlights other seeded players such as Alexander Zverev and Casper Ruud among a strong field. The article also offers additional predictions: Valentin Vacherot is singled out after a good Davis Cup showing and a Shanghai Masters title as a player to watch in these conditions, while Brandon Nakashima — a semifinalist here last year — is forecast to beat qualifier Elias Ymer in three sets.
The immediate consequence of the De Minaur–Kypson matchup is straightforward: with De Minaur in form from Rotterdam and carrying the status of world No. 6 and two-time champion, the preview frames his first-round test as one he should clear in straight sets, advancing into the next round of the ATP Mexican Open in Acapulco.
Play starts on Day 1 with those seven first-round matches, including the Alex De Minaur vs Patrick Kypson opener, and the tournament will continue through its scheduled rounds as the field sorts itself in Acapulco.
