What Time Will James McCabe Play Against Luis Carlos Alvarez?

McCabe and Alvarez are on the Day 2 Schedule at Mifel Tennis Open By Telcel Oppo 2025 on Tuesday 15 July 2025. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.

Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

James McCabe from Australia will face wildcard Luis Carlos Alvarez from Mexico for the first time. McCabe, aged 22, is currently ranked World No. 164, which is his career-high ranking. In 2025, he has a win-loss record of 1-2, having reached the second round of the Australian Open. This will be his debut appearance at Los Cabos. McCabe earned his first ranking point in 2021, broke into the Top 500 in July 2022, and reached the Top 200 in March 2025 after making it to the second round of the Australian Open. His career-high ranking of 164 came in July 2025 after qualifying for Wimbledon.

McCabe made his ATP Tour debut at the 2024 Adelaide event as a Lucky Loser, and he secured his first tour-level win at the 2025 Australian Open by defeating Landaluce in the first round as a Wild Card entry. He has a Challenger record of 51-55 with runs to 5 semifinals and a 60-29 record on the ITF World Tennis Tour, winning titles at the 2024 M25 Nottingham and M25 Roehampton.

As a former national junior swimming champion in the 200m butterfly, McCabe chose tennis over swimming at the age of 15. He is also musically inclined, playing the flute, piano, and guitar. McCabe aims to secure his second tour-level win of his career after previously defeating Landaluce earlier this year at the Australian Open 1st round. This will be his third appearance in Mexico, with previous achievements including advancing to the 2023 Puerto Vallarta Challenger semi-finals as a Qualifier.

On the other hand, Luis Carlos Alvarez from Mexico, aged 20, is currently ranked World No. 784, with a career-high ranking of 774 achieved in June 2025. In 2025, Alvarez has yet to play a match, including at Los Cabos. He earned his first ranking point at the age of 17 in 2022, broke into the Top 1000 in November 2024, and played his first tour-level match in the 2022 Davis Cup against Bosnia-Herzegovina, defeating Nedic.

Alvarez made his ATP Tour debut at the 2025 Los Cabos event as a Wild Card entry after previously failing to qualify in 2022 and 2023. He reached his first Challenger semi-final at the 2024 Puerto Vallarta event, where he defeated Pacheco Mendez. A native of Mexico City, Alvarez plays college tennis for the University of Oklahoma and plans to enter his senior year studying Business.

Alvarez is looking to secure the biggest win of his career and his first victory over a Top 200 opponent in order to record his first ATP Tour win outside of the Davis Cup. If he advances to the second round, he would join Alex Hernandez and make history by having multiple Mexican men reach the 2nd round of the same ATP Tour event since 1998. This would be a significant achievement for Mexican men’s tennis.
