Alexander Zverev vs Miomir Kecmanovic preview
Top seed Alexander Zverev will lock horns with Miomir Kecmanovic in the second round of the Mexican Open 2026.
Zverev began his run in Acapulco against Corentin Moutet. The German quickly took control of the opening set, breaking his opponent’s serve twice to claim it. While the second set was more competitive, Zverev snagged a single break of serve to seal the match in his favor, eventually wrapping up a 6-2, 6-4 win.
Kecmanovic was up against Tristan Schoolkate in the first round. The Serb dictated the match from the very first point, securing both sets with a double break advantage to score an easy 6-2, 6-2 victory.

Alexander Zverev vs Miomir Kecmanovic prediction
Competing for the first time since his five-set semifinal loss to Carlos Alcaraz at the Australian Open, Zverev didn’t miss a beat against Moutet in his opener. He didn’t face a single break point and won 79 percent of his first serve points. He also struck 28 winners against 20 unforced errors.
Kecmanovic played his best match of the season to oust Walton. He didn’t face a single break point as well, and won an impressive 85 percent of his first serve points. He also hit 15 winners against just four unforced errors.
After going 0-4 to start the year, Kecmanovic has raised his level in recent weeks and even made the quarterfinals of the Dallas Open. However, he has struggled against top 10 players his entire career. He has a 5-27 career record against them, and he hasn’t beaten a top 10 player on hardcourts since October 2023. His underwhelming results against the best in the game naturally makes Zverev the favorite to win this match.
Pick: Alexander Zverev to win in straight sets.
