Mexican Open fourth seed Holger Rune will begin his campaign in the first round against unseeded Roberto Carballes Baena. This marks their fourth career meeting and the winner will face Benjamin Bonzi or Brandon Nakashima for a quarter-final berth. Below is our prediction for this match.
Rune has made it to the semi-finals in Acapulco for three straight seasons. He has never failed to reach the last four. On his return, he will be eager to go all the way.
He is having an inconsistent season, having compiled a 5-5 record. This shaky form has kept him from returning to the ATP top 10 and is currently down to 14th in the live ranking.
Rune defeated Carballes Baena on grass at Wimbledon two seasons ago.
Roberto Carballes Baena has the head-to-head advantage against Rune, having won twice in their three meetings. His latest victory came in 2023 at the US Open, their only encounter on a hard court.
Though he has lacked consistency as well in 2025, the Spaniard will look to his previous success against Rune for motivation.
Carballes Baena has compiled a 5-6 record and is on a three-match skid.
The 31-year-old is back on hardcourts, where most of his wins have been registered, after a disappointing Golden Swing campaign. Carballes Baena starts in Acapulco as the world number 50.
