Alexander Zverev vs. Corentin Moutet Prediction, Odds and Best Bets (ATP Acapulco Open 2026, Round of 32, February 24)

Former champion opens his account in Mexico.

Top seed Alexander Zverev will bid to capture his second crown in Mexico when he begins his campaign at the 2026 Abierto Mexicano Telcel in Acapulco. A former champion at this event, the German powerhouse is set to open his account vs the flashy Frenchman Corentin Moutet on Tuesday. While Zverev comfortably leads the head-to-head, Moutet has plenty of tricks up his sleeve to upset the odds. The winner of this clash will face off against Miomir Kecmanovic or Tristan Schoolkate in the pre-quarterfinal stage.

Alexander Zverev has been a constant in the Top-10 for over a decade now, and currently ranks No. 4 in the world. The 28-year-old has won 24 titles and reached three Grand Slam finals throughout the course of his career. Apart from this, Sascha is also an Olympic gold medalist and the winner of the Nitto ATP Finals on two separate occasions. He has made a strong start to the 2026 campaign by reaching the semifinals at the Australian Open.

Corentin Moutet will be searching for his 100th tour-level main draw victory on Tuesday. The southpaw peaked at No. 31 in the world during late 2025, courtesy two runner-up finishes at Mallorca and Almaty in the second half of the year. At the age of 26, Moutet is the third best men’s player from France. With a career win-loss record of 99-116 and a moderate 2-2 start to the current season, the World No. 34 will start as the underdog against Zverev.
