CUERNAVACA/STARNBERG, March 22, 2026

Michael Mmoh and Taro Daniel will compete in Sunday’s singles final of the Morelos Open Metaxchange. The ATP Challenger Tour 75 hard-court event is being held at the Hotel Racquet Cuernavaca in Mexico this week.

Mmoh rallied from a set down to overcome fellow US-American Tyler Zink 1-6, 7-6(4), 6-2 in the stage of the last four on Saturday. The 28-year-old, who is on the comeback trail after injury-riddled seasons, won eight points less than his rival but secured victory to reach his first final since 2023 after two hours and 36 minutes.

Mmoh, who turned professional in 2016, is currently world No. 651 and reached a career-high ranking of No. 81 in September of 2023. Mmoh is a seven-time ATP Challenger Tour champion, with all of his titles coming on hard courts and all on home soil in the United States.
