Bautista and Martínez fall one match short of Montecarlo main draw, but can still be Lucky Losers

If yesterday all the news coming from the Spanish tennis at the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 2026 were good, this Sunday has not had the same luck. Roberto Bautista and Pedro Martínez, who were one step away from entering the main draw, have fallen in the final round of the qualifying phase. Bautista lost in two closely contested sets against Aleksander Shevchenko (7-6(3), 7-6(4)), while Martínez fell in a three-set battle against Juan Manuel Cerúndolo (6-2, 2-6, 6-3). However, all is not lost for both in Monaco, as there will be three Lucky Losers due to the recent withdrawals from the main draw.

This is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, Bautista y Martínez se quedan a un partido del cuadro final de Montecarlo, pero todavía pueden ser Lucky Losers
