Top seed Alexander Zverev made a quick start to his tournament with a 6-3, 6-0 win against lefty Yoshihito Nishioka. He won 77 per cent of his service points.

Zverev said of his serve: "It's a shot that I've been working on over the last four, five years because sometimes it was a shot that made me lose a lot of matches, made me lose also a few very big matches, maybe like the US Open final. So I'm happy it's working. I'm happy that the work is paying off."

The German will try to maintain his form in the last eight against Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis, who eliminated Briton Daniel Evans 6-4, 6-2.

1) Stars Aplenty in Acapulco: Nine Top 20 players headline the field at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel presentado por HSBC. The Top 4 seeds are Zverev, Rune, Alex de Minaur and Taylor Fritz, respectively.

3) Deja Vu for Zverev?: Zverev is aiming for his first title of the season. The 26-year-old German, who is 13-3 in Acapulco, will be hoping for a piece of deja vu at the hard-court event, where he won the title in 2021 before embarking on a six-title season, including two ATP Masters 1000 trophies, a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics and the Nitto ATP Finals.

Sixth seed Alexander Zverev booked his place in the third round after defeating Australian Christopher O’Connell 6-4, 6-4 in one hour, 56 minutes. The 26-year-old produced heavy hitting and struck 27 winners, 19 from his forehand according to Infosys ATP Stats, to improve to 2-1 in his Lexus ATP Head2Head with O’Connell.

“For me, he is a very difficult opponent. He has a lot of shots that are uncomfortable for me,” Zverev said of O’Connell, who the German lost to last year in Munich. “I’m extremely happy to be in winning ways again. Definitely happy to win in two sets.”

A 21-time tour-level titlist, Zverev is hoping for a strong showing this fortnight in Indian Wells, where his best result is a quarter-final appearance in 2021.

Zverev is No. 6 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings, just 20 points behind Rublev. Should he do better in Indian Wells that Rublev, the Olympic champion will return to the Top 5 at the end of the tournament.

“I’ve had some great matches here, but unfortunately I’ve lost a lot of them 7-6 in the third, 7-5 in the third,” Zverev said. “A lot of times, they were very close matches. I remember at the beginning of my career I lost 7-5 in the third to Rafa from match point up. Last year I lost 7-5 in the third to Medvedev. The year I made the quarter-finals, I lost 7-6 in the third to Fritz… I hope it’s going to be different this year.”
