A tournament where we always expect the best from Alex De Minaur (although there could be many) is always the ATP 500 in Acapulco, where we saw him emerge as the champion in 2023 and 2024. However, there are always exceptions in a career as long as the one the Australian will end up having; no one is immune to a slip-up. That exception was seen this morning with Alex's first-round defeat against Patrick Kypson, currently outside the top hundred in the rankings (6-1, 6-7, 7-6). A major surprise on the Mexican cement with the American securing the best win of his career. For De Minaur, who was coming off a win in Rotterdam, it was a cold shower.
