After another miraculous day where the rain threatened to stop play, the 2025 Faulcombridge Cup turned the page to set the stage for the semi-finals of this fourth edition. The standout of the day was Carlos Taberner and his victory over Marco Trungelliti (6-4, 6-4), thrilling a crowd that was fully supporting the local tennis player.
Tomorrow, Taberner will seek to take another step in his match against Croatian player Luka Mikrut, one of the breakout stars of the week. The other semi-final will feature Jan Choinski against Henri Squire, confirming that the draw has been very favorable for the Valencian player. Nevertheless, there is utmost respect for each opponent, as we all know how this works. If Taberner reaches Sunday's final, he would virtually return to the top 100 in the world rankings.

There are five Spaniards who will be present in the qualifying rounds of the US Open 2025. Martín Landaluce, Pablo Llamas, Carlos Taberner, Pol Martín Tiffon, and Dani Mérida are the ones aiming for a spot in the last Grand Slam of the year in a highly challenging qualifier. Players like Terence Atmane, Arthur Cazaux, Daniel Evans, Nikoloz Basilashvili, Lloyd Harris, and Cristian Garín are in the draw, so it will be extremely tough.
On paper, the toughest debuts belong to Mérida, who will face Dalibor Svrcina, and Llamas, who will meet Yannick Hanfmann.

After 1h26min of battle against Carlos Taberner, the final forehand of the Spaniard hits the net, meaning Luciano Darderi is the new champion of the ATP 250 in Umag. The Italian, dropping to the clay to celebrate... with the misfortune of twisting his right ankle in that move. It was his opponent who had to help him get up and go to the bench, where they treated him for ten minutes before conducting the on-court interview. Listening to him afterward, it doesn't seem serious, although we got a bit scared seeing him lying on the sand unable to stand up.
An UNBELIEVABLE ending in Umag 😱

It wasn't to be for Carlos Taberner. In his first final on the big stage, the 27-year-old Valencian fell just short of opening his professional trophy cabinet after losing in two sets against Luciano Darderi (6-3, 6-3) who remains on cloud nine with the win. Having witnessed him clinch his third title in Bastad last week, just seven days later came his fourth at the ATP 250 in Umag. It's the Italian's third crown this season, unstoppable whenever he reaches a final: four out of four. With this victory, Luciano will return to the world's top 35, while the Spaniard will also re-enter the top 100 of the world ranking.
