- Alexander Zverev returns to the tour in Acapulco after his Australian Open semifinal loss to Carlos Alcaraz and took nearly a week to rest on the Pacific coast.
- The event faces cancellation risk as qualifying has been underway since Sunday amid violence following the army killing of drug boss "El Mencho", and the German Foreign Office urgently advises against travel to Guerrero.
- US commentator Brett Haber reported leaving Mexico, described heavy police presence at the airport and urged the ATP to evacuate players, while organisers state the tournament will proceed in coordination with federal, state and local authorities and under established safety protocols.
- Zverev aims to focus on the tie for a place in the round of 16 against Corentin Moutet on Wednesday night (Sky), has taken extra rest since his Melbourne semifinal about two and a half weeks ago, and views Acapulco as an opportunity to collect ranking points and pursue a second winner's sombrero.
Send a plane to Acapulco and Mérida and get everyone out of there. This is not a drill.— Brett Haber, US tennis commentator, who warned on X about the situation in Mexico, described an 'insane' police presence at the airport and urged the ATP to evacuate players.
