THE PREDICTION

World number 50 Jack Draper upset seventh seed, and last season’s runner-up, Tommy Paul in commanding fashion on Monday to get his Mexican Open campaign underway. The promising British youngster ended last season by finishing runner-up to Adrian Mannarino at the Sofia Open and he began 2024 with another second-place finish in Adelaide to look ready to claim a maiden trophy this year, although consistent fitness for a whole season would be an even greater prize. World number 84 Yoshihito Nishioka came through qualifying before an excellent comeback over Nuno Borges. The 28-year-old is far better than his current deflated ranking suggests, also recently suffering from injury setbacks, but a first meeting with Draper is likely to be the end of his run in Acapulco. Nishioka’s disruptive left-handed style can be limited against the more mobile heavy hitters, particularly fellow southpaws like Draper. Back the 22-year-old to win.

TIP: JACK DRAPER TO WIN
