David Goffin and Rinky Hijikata, both unseeded, will meet in the opening round of the 2025 Mexican Open. This marks their second meeting this season and the winner will battle Ben Shelton or Flavio Cobolli for a place in the quarter-finals. Below is our prediction for this match.
Goffin is seeking his first win of the season. The Belgian has lost all five fixtures he has contested with one of those defeats being against Hijikata in Adelaide.
Having ended the 2024 season with back-to-back losses, Goffin is now on a seven-match losing streak. He was defeated in straight sets by Alex de Minaur in Rotterdam in his last outing.
Goffin, 63rd in the live ranking, beat Hijikata in their first meeting last season at Winston-Salem.
Hijikata is making his main draw debut in Acapulco. He was defeated in the qualifying rounds last season. Having already won against Goffin this season, he will be confident of making a winning start.
Hijikata is ending a two-week break from the tour. The Australian was last on the court at the Delray Beach Open where he exited in the first round. He has had a shaky season thus far and currently has lost seven times in 12 outings.
The 24-year-old starts a new week having dropped four places in the live ranking to 82nd place.
