Points To Defend For Nakashima
Brandon Nakashima opened his ATP campaign with a dominant straight-set win over Elias Ymer, extending his unbeaten record in first-round matches of ATP events in 2026.
He reached the final in Brisbane last month, but results since then have been more modest. Nakashima fell in the second round in Dallas to Taylor Fritz and again exited in the second round in Delray Beach last week against Coleman Wong.
He still needs a couple of wins this week to fully recoup the points from last year’s Acapulco run. Nakashima reached the semifinals here in 2025 with a win over Holger Rune, which remains his best result at the event across four appearances.

Kypson On The Brink Of Breakthrough
Patrick Kypson recorded the biggest win of his career by stunning two-time champion Alex de Minaur in a three-set thriller in the first round in Acapulco.
He is enjoying a dream debut at this event, having arrived on a three-match losing streak but turning things around with three straight wins starting from the qualifying rounds.
Kypson now stands one win away from the first tour-level quarterfinal of his career. Reaching that stage would mark a major breakthrough and also secure his top-100 debut in next week’s rankings.

Verdict
Brandon Nakashima’s greater experience and overall level should see him through here. Patrick Kypson can keep the sets competitive, but Nakashima is still expected to handle the key moments better. Back Nakashima to win in tight straight sets.
