Can Alexander Zverev<\/a> channel fond Acapulco memories to snap a seven-year title wait of sorts this week at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel presentado por HSBC<\/a>? <\/p>\n

The No. 4 player in the PIF ATP Rankings\u2019 singles title hopes at the ATP 500 may be over for this year, but Zverev remains in contention for a trophy in Mexico. Competing alongside his good friend Marcelo Melo<\/a>, Zverev on Thursday reached the doubles semi-finals via a 6-3, 3-6, 10-4 victory against Nuno Borges<\/a> and Miguel Reyes-Varela<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Zverev is a 24-time ATP Tour singles champion and has won at least one of those titles in nine of the past 10 seasons (he did not lift a trophy in 2022, when he missed more than half the year after suffering a serious ankle injury at Roland Garros<\/a>). Yet in Acapulco, he is chasing his first tour-level doubles title since he triumphed alongside his brother, Mischa Zverev<\/a>, at the Mexican ATP 500 in 2019. That was Zverev\u2019s second ATP Tour doubles trophy, after he and his brother also won in Montpellier in 2017. <\/p>\n

The 28-year-old Zverev holds a 72-89 tour-level record in doubles, according to the Infosys ATP Win\/Loss Index. He and Melo, who reached the final together at the 2024 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters<\/a>, will take on #NextGenATP star Rafael Jodar<\/a> and home favourite Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez<\/a> in Friday\u2019s semi-finals. <\/p>\n

In the other semi-final in Acapulco, Alexander Erler<\/a> and Robert Galloway<\/a> will face Vasil Kirkov<\/a> and Bart Stevens<\/a>. Erler and Galloway ousted third seeds Sadio Doumbia<\/a> and Fabien Reboul<\/a> 7-6(3), 6-4 to seal their last-four spot, while qualifiers Kirkov and Stevens downed Guido Andreozzi<\/a> and Manuel Guinard<\/a> 6-1, 6-0. <\/p>\n
