Pedro Martínez knocked out in Santiago after having match point in his favor

Bad news for the Spanish Navy on the first day of competition this week. The South American tour continues to be a battleground, and today Pedro Martínez was on the verge of being the sharpest rooster at the ATP Santiago 2026... but ended up conceding in his debut after being involved in a complete thriller. He was up against Francisco Comeseña and had him on the ropes: after losing the first set, he made a magnificent comeback and served for the match at 5-4 in the decisive set, but saw the Argentine save a match point and ultimately tilt the balance in his favor (6-4, 2-6, 7-6(4)). The Alzira native concludes his journey in South America and will now be thinking about Indian Wells, the next event on the calendar.

Other results of the day:

• Yannick Hanfmann d. Dusan Lajovic 6-0, 6-3
• Andrea Pellegrino (Q) d. Alex Barrena (Q) 6-2, 2-6, 6-1
