Medvedev, who is currently ranked among the top tennis players in the world, will play in his first tournament since losing in the Australian Open finals to Rafael Nadal. Nadal won a thrilling five-set battle against him, 6-2 7-6 4-6 4-6 5-7. He had previously advanced to the semi-finals of the ATP Cup, his season’s first tournament. The World No. 2 had planned to play in the Rotterdam Open, but withdrew due to exhaustion and has since had a good rest. If Medvedev wins the tournament in Acapulco, he would become World No. 1 for the first time. In the round of 16, he defeated Pablo Andujar in two straight sets, 6-1, 6-2.

Nishioka is a professional tennis player from Japan. He didn’t get off to a fantastic start this season. He was eliminated in the round of 32 in both of Adelaide’s warm-up events. The 26-year-old then competed in the Australian Open but was knocked out in the first round. After that, he competed in two challenger finals, one of which he won. After losing in the round of 16 at the Dallas Open, the Japanese player was eliminated in the round of 32 at the Delray Beach Open. In Mexico, he advanced through the qualifying rounds and upset Taylor Fritz in the round of 16 in three sets, 3-6 6-4 6-2.
