Rafael Nadal defeated Cameron Norrie in the final, 6–4, 6–4 to win the singles title at the 2022 Mexican Open. Nadal did not drop a set during a tournament for a record-extending 30th time.[1] It was his fourth Acapulco title and 91st career singles title overall.[2]

Alexander Zverev was the defending champion,[3] but he was defaulted from the tournament prior to his second-round singles match after he showed unsportsmanlike conduct at the conclusion of his first-round doubles match, repeatedly hitting the umpire’s chair with his racquet and using obscene language.[4]

Zverev and Daniil Medvedev were in contention to claim the world No. 1 singles ranking.[5] After Novak Djokovic lost in the quarterfinals in Dubai, Medvedev clinched the top ranking for the first time, making him the 27th player to hold the position.[6] Medvedev also became the first player outside of the Big Four to hold the world number 1 ranking since Andy Roddick in February 2004, ending the quartet's 943-week streak with the top position.[7]

For the first time since the 2013 China Open, four of the top five ranked players competed at the same ATP 500 tournament.[8]

The first-round match between Zverev and Jenson Brooksby had the latest-ever finish in an ATP Tour match when it ended at 4:55 a.m. local time, passing the previous record of 4:34 a.m. local time set by Lleyton Hewitt and Marcos Baghdatis at the 2008 Australian Open. At three hours and twenty-two minutes, it was also the longest match ever played at the Mexican Open.[8]
