Round two of the 2026 Abierto Mexicano Telcel sees an intriguing match between sixth seed Valentin Vacherot and wild card Gael Monfils. The winner goes into the quarter-finals of this outdoor hard court tournament in Acapulco. Time for our match prediction.
Valentin Vacherot is playing in the Mexican Open for the first time. He does not have any seeded players between him and the semi-finals. The winner of this match will face either unseeded Brandon Nakashima or qualifier Patrick Kypson.
Round one saw him need to come from a set down to defeat lucky loser Coleman Wong. He's currently a career-high 25th in the live rankings but a win over Monfils will see him set a new one of 24th.
The 27-year-old has won six of his ten matches this year with one quarter-final in Adelaide.
Gael Monfils is playing in this tournament for the second and last time. The 39-year-old is going to retire at the end of the 2026 season. His only other appearance here was back in 2009 and he was the losing finalist.
The Frenchman had only played two matches this year (losing both) before returning to Acapulco. The first round saw him defeat Damir Dzumhur in straight sets, the second via a tie-break. We tip more than 0.5 tie-breaks to be played.
