The Argentine will progress into the second round

Diego Schwartzman is the certain favorite to win the first round encounter on Tuesday. The Argentinian got his season back on track after he lifted the title in Buenos Aires. However, Musetti has played some brilliant tennis to reach the main draw of the Acapulco Open. The Italian also managed to reached the finals of the Challenger Biella a few weeks ago and looks to be in good shape. He will have to produce his best tennis if he is to challenge Schwartzman on Tuesday.
