Zverev is a heavy favorite, but he could be rusty after nearly a month without competitive action. That layoff may give Moutet the chance to stay competitive and stretch the contest into a longer battle.

Numbers Strongly Favour Zverev

  • Zverev has won 27 of his last 28 matches against left-handers. 
  • Zverev is a former champion in Acapulco. 
  • Moutet is making his debut in Acapulco. 
  • Moutet holds a 1-10 career record against top-five players.

Zverev Seeks Strong Response After Melbourne

Zverev returns to action for the first time since the Australian Open, where he was a service hold away from the final before falling to Carlos Alcaraz in five sets. It was a painful defeat that halted what had been a strong run at the event. 

That loss would have been demoralizing, and Zverev now comes back looking for a quick response to lift his confidence. A good run this week would be the ideal way to reset and regain momentum early in the season. 

He has enjoyed success at this venue in the past, reaching two finals and winning the title in 2021. However, his recent visits have been less productive, with only two main draw wins across his last three appearances.

Moutet Faces Immediate Test

Corentin Moutet has made a solid start to the season, winning two of his first four matches, a respectable return given his usual inconsistency. His losses have come against strong top-20 opponents, including Carlos Alcaraz and Tommy Paul. 

He opted to skip the South American clay swing and instead head to Acapulco to test himself on hard courts, marking his first appearance at this event.

That move has handed him a tough opening draw against top seed Alexander Zverev in the first round. Moutet has faced top-five players 11 times in his career and has managed just one win at that level, which came against Taylor Fritz at Queen’s Club last year.

Verdict

Zverev’s strong record against left handed players keeps him firmly in control of this matchup. Still, after nearly a month without match play, he may need time to settle, which could allow Moutet to stay competitive and push this into a longer contest.
