Bad news for Spanish tennis in the last day of the qualifying phase of Wimbledon 2026. We reached Thursday's match day with three interesting options to access the main draw, three warriors who had already passed a couple of tests and were ready to face the last one... but it wasn't our day, as they leave empty-handed from the final round of the qualifying phase. Neither Pablo Llamas nor Alejandro Moro in the men's draw, nor Marina Bassols in the women's draw: all three will have to wait for the possibility of entering as Lucky Losers, with Jerez' player being the best positioned to achieve it due to his status as a seed.
Llamas fell to another great fighter like Tristan Boyer in a tough battle, with very long sets, where the American was more decisive in crucial moments (7-5, 6-7(4), 7-6(2), 6-3) and dashed the hopes of Pablo who, nonetheless and as we mentioned, still has chances to enter the main draw in case of withdrawals after the draw. It will be tougher for Alejandro Moro, who wasn't the favorite against an ATP circuit regular like Soonwoo Kwon: the Korean leveraged his experience and status on a grass court that suits his fast-paced tennis perfectly, disarming the player from Madrid (6-4, 7-6(6), 6-3).
Opportunities run out in the 'qualy' 🇬🇧

Marina Bassols, out in the final round: no Spanish qualifiers for Wimbledon
In the women's draw, the great hope was Marina Bassols, who had already achieved a remarkable result at Roland Garros. Her path held much promise and seemed to be following the same path... but it ended in the final round against the young Robin Montgomery, capable of pulling off a comeback that drained the physical reserves of the Spanish player (3-6, 6-1, 6-1). We also end up with no players in the WTA, although our players overall delivered a magnificent performance and defended themselves very well on a surface, the grass, that many approached without prior tournament preparation.
