Kypson Upsets Two-time Champion De Minaur In Acapulco Opener
American Patrick Kypson: American Patrick Kypson caused a major upset in the first round of the Mexican Open by eliminating sixth-seed and two-time champion Alex de Minaur 6-1, (4)6-7, 7-6(4). This victory marked his first tour-level win since Indian Wells in 2024.
This is Kypson's first appearance at the Mexican tournament, coincidentally during the week he reached his career-high ranking. De Minaur, meanwhile, was playing his first event since capturing the title in Rotterdam a fortnight ago.
Kypson turned the match on its head by breaking Alex de Minaur as the Australian served for victory at 5-4 in the final set, before closing out a gritty contest in two hours and 39 minutes. The American was clinical behind his first serve, claiming 71 per cent of those points (48 of 68), and made the most of his opportunities, converting three of five break chances, according to ATP Stats.
