Davidovich Fokina of Spain will shoot for his second straight semifinal appearance on Thursday, taking on Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez in the quarterfinal of the 2025 Acapulco Open. Fokina advanced to the quarterfinal on Wednesday with a 6-3 6-7(6) 6-3 win over Frances Tiafoe of the United States. It marked Fokina’s second consecutive three-set victory in the tournament after besting Mattia Bellucci 1-6 7-6(6) 6-2 in the first round. Pacheco Mendez was gifted with a walkover win by Casper Ruud of Norway, who begged off from the second-round match with the Mexican due to an upset stomach. This development sent Pacheco Mendez to his first quarterfinal appearance in an ATP Tour tournament. Mendez had defeated Aleksander Vukic of Australia 7-5 4-6 7-6(4), the biggest win in his career.
