The 2026 outdoor hard court Abierto Mexicano Telcel is being held and Tuesday sees fourth seed Flavio Cobolli begin his campaign. The Italian faces Mexican wild card Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez in round one of this outdoor hard court tournament. Read our match prediction below.
Flavio Cobolli has played in this tournament for the past couple of years. He's never managed to get further than round two of this ATP 500 event. Last year saw him lose in round one to Ben Shelton.
The 23-year-old lost four successive matches this year before a return to form in Delray Beach last week. He made it to the last four but was beaten by eventual champion Sebastian Korda. Cobolli is 20th in the live rankings.
Unseeded opposition will be faced in round two, either James Duckworth or Dalibor Svrcina.
Rodrigo Pachecho Mendez is down at 297th in the live rankings, 101 places below his career-high. The 20-year-old has dropped down in the live list because he is defending the points earned when being a quarter-finalist here in 2025, though he only actually won one match.
Mendez is playing only his second ATP Tour event of the year and lost in round one of the Australian Open. One Challenger Tour semi-final has been reached but we tip Cobolli to win this in straight sets.
