Top Seed Alexander Zverev Upset by Miomir Kecmanovic in Acapulco Round of 16

The Serbian world No. 84 earned his first Top‑5 win and advances to a quarterfinal against Terence Atmane.

Overview

  • Zverev fell 3–6, 7–6 (7–3), 6–7 (4–7) in a 2-hour, 35-minute match that ended on Kecmanovic’s first match point.
  • The victory marked Kecmanovic’s first career win over a Top‑5 opponent.
  • Zverev, the tournament’s No. 1 seed, struggled with errors, including 17 unforced backhand mistakes.
  • Kecmanovic moves into the quarterfinals to face France’s Terence Atmane.
  • With Zverev’s exit, Acapulco has lost its top three seeds, and organizers say play continues in coordination with federal, state and municipal authorities following recent violence in parts of Mexico.
