Tiafoe and Muller are on the Day 2 Schedule at Abierto Mexicano Telcel Presentado Por Hsbc 2025 on Tuesday 25 February 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?
Frances Tiafoe, a 27-year-old American tennis player, is currently ranked World No. 18 and achieved his career-high ranking of No. 10 in June 2023. He reached this milestone after winning his third title in Stuttgart and saving one match point against Struff in the final. This victory made him the owner of ATP Tour titles on all three surfaces. Tiafoe also became part of history when he and his fellow American player, Fritz, both entered the Top 10 ranking, marking the first time since 2012 that two American men were ranked in the Top 10.
In the 2022 US Open, Tiafoe made it to the semi-finals after defeating 4-time champion Nadal. This accomplishment made him the first American men’s semi-finalist at the event since Roddick in 2006. Tiafoe once again reached the US Open semi-finals in 2024 but lost to Fritz in an all-American match. He also led Team World to victory in the 2022 Laver Cup, where he partnered with Sock to defeat Federer and Nadal in their final match before securing the cup with a win over Tsitsipas.
One of Tiafoe’s notable comebacks was in the 2024 Cincinnati tournament, where he rallied from being down 3-5 in the third set and saved two match points against Rune to reach his first ATP Masters 1000 final. Tiafoe won his first ATP Tour title as a 20-year-old in 2018 at Delray Beach, making him the youngest American champion since Roddick’s victory at the 2002 Houston tournament. He went on to win his second ATP Tour title in 2023 at Houston.
Tiafoe’s tennis journey has strong roots in his family background. His parents emigrated from Sierra Leone in 1996, and his father worked as the Head of Maintenance at the Junior Tennis Champions Center in Maryland. It was at this center that Tiafoe and his twin brother Franklin received their training as kids. Tiafoe is now making his seventh appearance in Acapulco and has a record of 4-2 in opening rounds at the event. Notable losses include matches against del Potro in 2017 and Wawrinka in 2020. His aim in this year’s tournament is to secure his first Top 50 win since defeating No. 5 Medvedev at the Laver Cup in September.
On the other side, Alexandre Muller, a 28-year-old French player, is currently ranked World No. 41, which is his career-high ranking reached in February 2025. Muller recently made waves in his career by reaching the biggest final of his career in Rio de Janeiro. He achieved his first ATP Tour title at the 2025 Hong Kong tournament, becoming the third man in the Open Era to win a tour-level title by rallying from a set down in all matches played.
Muller’s breakthrough moments include defeating clay-court champions Gasquet and Musetti en route to his first semi-final and final at the 2023 Marrakech tournament. He also earned a notable victory over No. 6 Rublev to reach the fourth round of the 2024 ATP Masters 1000 Rome. Muller made his tour-level debut at the 2017 Roland Garros as a wildcard entry and won his first tour-level match at the 2021 Australian Open as a lucky loser, defeating Londero in the first round.
While Muller has a 138-121 record in Challenger matches, including three finals, his first title came at the 2022 Blois tournament, where he saved a match point in his first-round match. Muller’s interest in tennis started at a young age, playing with his father on a tennis court at their childhood home. Despite being better at football initially, he ultimately chose tennis as his sport.
Muller recently made his Top 50 debut on the PIF ATP Rankings after his successful run to the final in Rio de Janeiro. His overall record against the Top 20 players stands at 2-12, with victories over No. 6 Rublev in ATP Masters 1000 Rome and No. 20 Fils on his way to winning his first ATP Tour title in Hong Kong in January. This marks Muller’s first appearance in the Acapulco tournament.
