It's been a week of surprises in the 2026 Abierto Mexicano Telcel but two seeds have reached the final. Fifth seed Flavio Cobolli faces eighth-seeded Frances Tiafoe in this outdoor hard court tournament in Acapulco. Read our match predictiion below.
Flavio Cobolli must beat his American opponent for the first time to win this ATP 500 tournament. Two previous meetings were both played on this surface with Tiafoe winning in straight sets in 2024 and 2025.
The Italian is playing in only his second ATP Tour outdoor hard court final after losing in Washington two years ago. Cobolli has reached this final for the loss of only one set. That was the middle set in his semi-final win over unseeded Miomir Kecmanovic.
He's played four tie-breaks this week and is up to a career-high 17th in the live rankings.
Frances Tiafoe last reached an ATP Tour final on this surface in 2024, last winning one four years ago. The American has taken over eight hours to reach this final, dropping a set in two matches.
That includes his semi-final against fellow American Brandon Nakashima. Two of his last three matches have seen a tie-break played. Tiafoe is up to 22nd in the live rankings. We tip more than 0.5 tie-breaks in this final.
