It is appreciated when players like Tomas Machac break into the ATP circuit. The 24-year-old Czech has been a regular in all the top-tier tournaments since 2023 after winning four Challengers between 2020 and 2022. He is a talent capable of troubling any player, as he has already shown in the highest category events. Now, after his first title on the main circuit achieved at ATP Acapulco, a new chapter opens in his career by breaking into the top 20 of the ranking. Furthermore, we can confirm that Czech tennis is in good hands with players like Machac, Jiri Lehecka, and Jakub Mensik all in the top 100.

Tomas Machac defeated Alejandro Davidovich in the final of ATP Acapulco 2025. The Czech demonstrated a cool composure that he has been gradually building since his breakthrough in the top tournaments since 2023. One could say he is a specialist on hard surfaces, but he also knows the taste of defeating a star like Novak Djokovic on the clay in ATP Geneva 2024 (6-4 0-6 6-1), showcasing himself as a very interesting and dangerous player in completely different conditions. Despite still having much room for improvement, he is making significant strides, especially in terms of court concentration, as he confirmed after the Acapulco final.

- Enhanced concentration

"I told my coach two weeks ago that sometimes I struggle in important matches and don't know how to handle these situations... So, I will try to communicate more often", Machac said with a laugh. "The emotion right now is relief for the tough week I have had. I don't like losing a final, especially when I am in this form. I am happy for the win because Davidovich was playing very well", a more relieved Tomas stated.

- Impeccable statistics

Machac's numbers only confirm his preference for the conditions in Acapulco. In the final, he achieved a 95% first-serve points won, winning 37 out of 39 according to Infosys ATP Stats. Undoubtedly, a remarkable figure achieved by very few. He also displayed great aggression with his forehand, a very precise backhand, and the versatility and speed that characterize him on the court.

- How far can he go?

That is the big question. Tomas Machach can go as far as he sets his mind to, as he has all the conditions to shine. Although he has not yet managed to surpass the third round in a Grand Slam as the five-set matches present a completely different reality, the Czech is advancing step by step in his career, breaking more records each time. Hence, it's probably just a matter of time before he secures a place in the top 20 in the long run.
