Machac comes back against Báez in Barcelona and awaits Alcaraz

Tomas Machac has rallied to defeat Sebastián Báez in the Barcelona Open 2026 and now awaits Carlos Alcaraz in the round of 16. The Czech tennis player, who had recently taken a set from Jannik Sinner in Monte Carlo, started hesitantly but ended up prevailing over the Argentine with a score of 2-6 6-4 6-1. When his physical condition allows, Machac has proven to be one of the most dangerous players on the circuit, especially now that he is not among the top rankings and can face seeded players from the first round.
