Abierto Mexicano Telcel presentado por HSBC: What You Need To Know
The Abierto Mexicano Telcel presentado por HSBC is a combined ATP 500 and WTA tennis tournament held at the Acapulco Princess Mundo Imperial.

Thomas Muster won the first four editions, and David Ferrer tied his tournament record by winning three titles on clay (2010-12) and one on hard court (2015).
