ACAPULCO, 24 February 2026 – American tennis player Patrick Kypson has reached a significant milestone in his professional career, achieving a new career-high ATP singles ranking of world No. 103 this week. The 26-year-old from Durham, North Carolina, is currently competing at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel in Acapulco, where he has demonstrated strong form following a successful 2025 campaign on the ATP Challenger Tour.
Recent Performance and Acapulco Campaign
Kypson entered the main draw in Acapulco after a dominant qualifying run. On 22 February, he defeated Stefan Kozlov 7-6, 6-0, followed by a clinical 6-3, 6-0 victory over Chak Lam Coleman Wong on 23 February to secure his place in the Round of 32.

This follows a productive 2025 season where he secured three Challenger titles, including a notable victory at the MarketBeat Open in South Dakota and the Little Rock Open in June.
