With this win, he gains 500 points, catapulting him to the 20th position in the rankings – his highest classification to date at just 24 years old. Moreover, Machac is now eighth in the Race 2025, trailing behind the renowned Novak Djokovic.
Prize Money and Ranking Implications
Machac’s victory in the Acapulco tournament comes with a substantial prize of 465,255 euros, significantly higher than Alejandro Davidovich’s earnings of 250,325 euros.

It’s worth noting that Machac is the third player this season to achieve a notable record, following in the footsteps of Alexandre Muller in Hong Kong and Joao Fonseca in Buenos Aires.
Upcoming Tournaments and Outlook
Looking ahead, Tomas Machac is set to be one of the 32 seeded players at the Indian Wells Masters 1000, scheduled to take place from March 5 to 16. The tournament’s draw is slated to be announced this Monday, March 3, with Carlos Alcaraz emerging as the second favorite, especially given Jannik Sinner’s recent suspension. This development promises an exciting competition, with Machac aiming to leverage his current momentum to make a significant impact in the upcoming tournament.
