Stefanos Tsitsipas arrives in Acapulco where he will play the local ATP500 for the 1st time in his career. Alexander Zverev and Diego Sebastian Schwartzman are going to be the other top seeds that will be in pole position to win the title. Stefanos will face Benoit Paire in the opening match and he might have a tough 2nd round against John Isner if the American beats Salvatore Caruso.

Stefanos is still titleless in 2021. He reached the semifinals at the Australian Open and Rotterdam and he has recently crashed out in Marseille in the quarters.

Here some of Tsitsipas’ pictures of his arrival in Acapulco also with fans.
