Best tennis players in Acapulco, Dubai and Santiago de Chile

Acapulco, Spanish turf

The Acapulco/Mexico City tourney, also known as the Mexico Open, used to be the clay court hot spot in the Americas for years, until it switched to hard court. Now, the big guns head there to get in shape for the year's first two big deals after Australian Open, the Indian Wells and Miami Masters 1000s.

Spain's had a good run there, with Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer leading the pack in the Tennis History Race (both snagged 4 trophies, tying with Thomas Muster back when it was an ATP-500 gig), followed by Nico Almagro. This time around, it's star-studded: Zverev, De Miñaur, Tsitsipas, Casper Ruud, Rune, Taylor Fritz, Shelton, you name it.

 

Dubai, where petrodollars shine

The Dubai tournament, known for being the top payer in its category, also rolls out the red carpet for some top talents. Lately, it's kind of becoming a Russian playground. Medvedev and Rublev are eyeing a repeat of their recent wins, but they've got another countryman, Khachanov, hot off a victory in Doha, looking to shake things up. In Dubai, the Tennis History Race is dominated by Roger Federer, with 8 wins out of 10 finals, followed by Novak Djokovic who's bagged 5 titles in 10 finals.

 

Santiago de Chile, the Chile-Argentina showdown

Chilean tennis legend Fernando González is leading the pack in the Tennis Race for History, and not just in points. He's bagged 4 trophies, no one else has snagged a title more than once in this tourney where the Argentines rule, followed by the Spaniards.
This time around, Chile's own Jarry and Garín are facing off against the Argentines as their main challengers. Sebastián Báez is riding high off his Rio de Janeiro win, and the young gun Díaz Acosta is throwing his hat in the ring, along with the super young Brazilian Joao Fonseca, aiming to join the future Top Ten crew.
