Luciano Darderi bid farewell to the ATP Rome 2026 after ten days of a dream run that saw him reach his first Masters 1000 semifinals and defeat Tommy Paul, Alexander Zverev, and Rafa Jódar along the way. However, his physical condition was not enough, and he fell convincingly to Casper Ruud (6-1, 6-1). Nevertheless, in the press conference following his defeat, he focused on the positive aspects of a tournament he will never forget, as reported by journalist Carlo Galati: "Today I was very tired, and I apologize to the people who came. I had no fuel today, and then stopping for the rain I thought would help me, but unfortunately it didn't. The short recovery time is part of tennis."

"I fought in every match and tried to give my best; it has been a dream week, and I want to thank those who have been with me. It has been the most beautiful tournament of my life. After this tournament, I have more confidence in myself. I have won very beautiful matches, and the level of my tennis has been very high. The memory I will take is the match with Jódar. I dedicate this week to my grandmother, and I hope she watches me from some place; her dream was for me to become a tennis player, and then to my father because if I am what I am, it is thanks to him," concluded the Italo-Argentinian.
