The Mexican Open is one of two ATP 500 events taking place this week.
And top seed Rafael Nadal is the headline act as he looks to win for the third time in Mexico.
The Spaniard will be playing in his first event since losing to Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open final.
Alexander Zverev is the second seed and on the opposite side of the draw to Nadal and the German is looking forward to getting started.
“Every player has played more than me, basically. But I’m looking forward to it,” said Zverev.
“I’m looking forward to really getting going now because it’s a busy schedule with the Masters [1000] series coming up [in Indian Wells and Miami] and also on clay I have a very busy schedule. It’s very exciting.”
Nick Kyrgios, Stan Wawrinka and David Ferrer are also in the tournament.
Defending champion Juan Martin Del Potro withdrew from the event on Friday to rest.
