Nadal to Play for 3Rd Acapulco Title, 1St on Hard Court ABIERTO MEXICANO TELCEL PRESENTADO POR HSBC DAY 6 MEDIA NOTES Saturday, March 4, 2017 Princess Mundo Imperial, Acapulco, Mexico | February 27-March 4, 2017 Draw: S-32, D-16 | Prize Money: $1,491,310 | Surface: Outdoor Hard ATP World Tour Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing www.ATPWorldTour.com AbiertoMexicanoDeTenis.com Maria Garcia-Planas: [email protected] Twitter: @ATPWorldTour Twitter: @AbiertoTelcel Press Room: +52 74-448-85185 Facebook: @ATPWorldTour Facebook: @AbiertoMexicanoDeTenis NADAL TO PLAY FOR 3RD ACAPULCO TITLE, 1ST ON HARD COURT Rafael Nadal is the undisputed, undefeated, two-time Acapulco champion, reeling off records of 14-0 in matches and 28-0 in sets at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel. But the No. 2 seed is also playing his 30th hard-court event since winning his last title on the surface at 2014 Doha. Nadal hopes to end his hard-court hex against Sam Querrey and capture his 70th ATP World Tour title overall. The unseeded Querrey is into his first ATP World Tour 500 final since winning the 2010 Memphis title. After upsetting then-No. 1 Novak Djokovic at 2016 Wimbledon, Querrey lost his next seven matches against Top 20 opponents. However, he beat No. 11 David Goffin, No. 9 Dominic Thiem and No. 17 Nick Kyrgios to earn a place opposite the sixth-ranked Nadal in Saturday’s final. No. 1 seeds Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares meet unseeded John Isner and Feliciano Lopez in the doubles final. Murray and Soares are seeking their first title of the season after finishing 2016 atop the Emirates ATP Doubles Team Rankings. Isner and Lopez, on the other hand, have played more matches as opponents than partners. Isner is 5-3 against Lopez and 4-1 alongside him.

Mahut begins his busy day at 11 am against countryman Paul Henri-Mathieu. The Frenchmen were born nine days apart in 1982 and live in Boulogne-Billancourt. But despite their proximity in age and residence, Mahut and Mathieu have only met twice on the ATP World Tour. The older Mathieu leads 2-0 in their FedEx ATP Head 2 Head rivalry. Mahut is enjoying a milestone week in ’s-Hertogenbosch. The two-time champion began his title defense with a win over qualifier Lukas Lacko on Monday, the same day that he became the second World No. 1 from France in doubles or singles. Mahut joined Hall-of-Famer Yannick Noah, who spent 19 weeks atop the Emirates ATP Doubles Rankings during the 1986 and 1987 seasons. Because his regular partner Pierre-Hugues Herbert is playing singles in Stuttgart this week, Mahut is teaming with World No. 10 Rohan Bopanna for the first time.

Murray won both his singles and teamed with his brother John to edge out Groth and Hewitt in five sets in the crucial doubles rubber. Murray received fantastic support from the 8000 strong crowd which was also appreciative of Lleyton Hewitt playing in what was to be his final Davis Cup match. The Australian team showed great fighting spirit and camaraderie and, with the recall of Kyrgios, will be a force to be reckoned with in Davis Cup in the next few years. It is anticipated that Hewitt will take over from Masur as Captain in 2016. Page !1 Around the traps…… Put up your hand if someone has taken your seat! Australian Captain Wally Masur is giving Sam Groth a go as Captain during Kokkinakis’ dead rubber so that he can have a chat with mate Pat Cash.

The Argentine is 5-16 against Federer with all five wins on hard courts, none more meaningful than when he rallied from a set-and-a-break down to deny Federer a sixth straight US Open title. Del Potro can prevent history from being made again as Federer and Rafael Nadal are one win from meeting for the first time at the US Open. The Swiss and Spaniard have been this close six times now, including in 2009, when del Potro defeated Nadal 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 in the semi-finals before beating Federer in the final. • Nadal’s quarter-final opponent on Wednesday is #NextGenATP player Andrey Rublev. The 19-year-old Russian is the youngest US Open quarter-finalist since Andy Roddick in 2001. Rublev would be the youngest semi-finalist at the US Open since Lleyton Hewitt in 2000 and at any Grand Slam event since Nadal at 2005 Roland Garros. A teenager has never defeated a World No.
