In 2025, he had a record of 7-4, reaching the quarterfinals in Brisbane and Auckland. Mensik is making his debut at the Acapulco tournament, with no previous matches played there.

His notable performance in Doha also included victories over former champions Murray, Monfils, and the 5th-ranked player, Andrey Rublev. This victory marked the biggest win of his career and made him the youngest Czech ATP Tour finalist. He also became the first man born in 2005 or later to reach an ATP Tour final.
In his debut at a tour-level event, Mensik reached the third round of the US Open in 2023 as a qualifier. This achievement made him the youngest man since Nadal in 2004 to reach the third round of a Grand Slam tournament. He also reached the third round of the US Open in 2024 and the Australian Open in 2025, narrowly losing in both matches after having match points.
Mensik has a record of 30-21 in Challenger matches and won his first Challenger title at the Prague-2 tournament in May 2023 when he was ranked 333rd. On the ITF Juniors circuit, he had a record of 85-28 and reached the final of the boys’ singles event at the Australian Open in 2022.
It is worth noting that Mensik has an impressive record of 12-1 in the opening rounds on hard courts throughout his career. His only loss was to the 31st-ranked player, Cerundolo, in the first round of the Beijing tournament in September. Mensik is aiming for his third top 30 win of 2025, having defeated the 21st-ranked player, Shelton, in the second round of Auckland, and the 6th-ranked player, Ruud, in the second round of the Australian Open.
On the other hand, Tomas Machac, aged 24, is currently ranked as the world number 25 and has achieved a career-high ranking of number 24. In 2025, he has a record of 7-3, reaching the quarterfinals in Dallas. This is Machac’s debut at the Acapulco tournament.

Notably, Machac is participating in his second ATP 500 event of 2025, having reached the quarterfinals in Dallas earlier in the month. In this match against Mensik, both players will face a countryman on the ATP Tour for the first time.
