Aleksandar Vukic vs Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez Prediction

Aleksandar Vukic has had a tough couple of tournaments in North America as he was eliminated in the first matches he played in both Dallas and Delray Beach. The Australian will be hoping to get back on track in Mexico this week and get a win or two under his belt.

He has been handed a favourable draw as he takes on Mexican wildcard and world number 365, Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez in the first round.

The 19-year-old bizarrely met Vukic last year in Los Cabos and with the Australian winning 7-6 7-6 so it was certainly not as one-sided as the rankings would suggest.

The youngster will be fired up to give it his all here and will have home support firmly on his side. Vukic should get the win but do not rule out the youngster taking a set off him this time around.
