Bautista suffers a harsh setback against a tower named Martin Damm Jr

Roberto Bautista has suffered a tough defeat in the round of 16 of the ATP Montpellier 2026. The Castellonese bids farewell to the competition with barely any chances, overwhelmed by the overpowering tennis of Martin Damm Jr who reaches his first quarterfinals on the circuit (6-1, 6-3). The Spaniard showed frustration against his rival's service bombs, who has not lost his serve throughout the tournament, saving 8 out of 8 break points, and has hit 73 aces in four matches (coming from the qualifying rounds). He will face the winner of the match between Luca Nardi and Flavio Cobolli in the quarterfinals.
