# Mexican Open (tennis)

The Mexican Open (currently sponsored by Telcel and HSBC and called the Abierto Mexicano Telcel presented by HSBC) an ATP Tour professional tennis tournament played on outdoor hardcourts part of the ATP Tour 500 series. Until 2020 it was one of the WTA International tournaments on the WTA Tour. It is usually held annually in late February and early March at the Arena GNP Seguros since 2022 and previously at the Fairmont Acapulco Princess, both in Acapulco, Mexico. It was played on outdoor red clay courts until 2013. The change to hardcourts was introduced in 2014. No Mexican tennis player has ever won this tournament in Singles. But Leonardo Lavalle (1993 and 1995) and Giuliana Olmos (2020) have won it in Doubles.
The tournament was introduced on the ATP Tour in 1993, and began on the WTA Tour in 2001. It was held in Mexico City from 1993 to 1998, and once more in 2000, before being relocated to Acapulco in 2001. It was the closing leg of the four-ATP tournament Golden Swing. Starting in 2014, the Mexican Open's surface changed from clay to hardcourts, serving as a lead-up to the first ATP Tour Masters 1000 event of the season in Indian Wells, United States. The winner traditionally receives a giant silver gourd trophy.
