The quarter-finals of the Abierto Mexicano Telcel will include a qualifier. Will it be Yibing Wu or Sho Shimabukuro who reaches the last eight of this Acapulco outdoor hard court tournament? Find out in our match prediction.
Whoever does reach the last eight will play either fifth seed Flavio Cobolli or unseeded Dalibar Svrcina.
Yibing Wu is playing in this tournament for the first time. He had to win two qualifying matches to get into the main draw. He did that without dropping a set. It was the same story in round one as he impressively beat third seed Casper Ruud, both won by a tie-break.
The Chinese player is in only his second round two this year and is up to 123rd in the live rankings.
Sho Shimabukuro (also making his debut in Acapulco) is also yet to drop a set in this tournament, though one win came when his opponent retired after six games. Round one saw the Japanese player beat Adrian Mannarino in straight sets. He's 111th in the live list, a new career-high.
This is the first time Shimabukuro has made it past round one of an ATP Tour event this year. His best performances have come on the Challenger Tour with a semi-final reached. We tip more than 0.5 tie-breaks.
