Dani Mérida wants to extend the good feelings he experienced in Bucharest and has started the preliminary phase of the Conde de Godó 2026 in the best possible way. The Spaniard is very close to breaking into the top 100 of the ATP ranking and is aware that earning points in Barcelona would be vital to achieve that goal. He won 7-5 6-4 against Maestrelli, setting up a decisive match with the winner of the duel between Quinn and Basilashvili.

It couldn't happen. Dani Mérida had attracted a lot of media attention going into the Barcelona Open 2026 after his impressive performance in Bucarest, but he fell short in the qualifying round. The young Spaniard succumbed to Ethan Quinn by 6-3 6-1, proving to be inferior to the American tennis player, who had already shown promise last year when facing Alcaraz.

The Conde de Godó 2026 will start this Saturday with the first phase of the tournament, where there will be a good Spanish representation.

He will face Francesco Maestrelli in the first round. On the other hand, there will be a Spanish derby between Pedro Martínez and Pablo Carreño, ensuring the presence of 'La Armada' in the final round of the qualifying.

His long journey at ATP Bucharest, where he reached his first professional final, has prevented Dani Mérida from competing this week at the Madrid Challenger. However, this hasn't stopped the Madrilenian from visiting the tournament and even speaking to the media. Focused on recovering and taking a few days off, his speech awakens the hope of a man who is on the verge of breaking into the top 100.

“Being #101 in the world is a dream come true for me, so close to the top 100. This is something that motivates me a lot, especially now that the clay court season is approaching, particularly after starting to play so well. I will try to get into the final draw of Grand Slams, which is a great motivation and thrill. The goal is to secure a direct entry to Roland Garros, without going through the qualifying rounds, something I've been dreaming of for a while. Now, it's time to rest and come back in two weeks for the Mutua,” Dani commented.

Despite giving it his all, Dani Mérida could not secure his first ATP title in Bucarest. The Spaniard, who arrived physically affected to the final, fought until the end but ended up succumbing to Mariano Navone in a memorable final, 6-2, 4-6, 7-5. As expected, all that effort almost led to an injury for the Madrid native, who confirmed through social media that he played with a lot of abdominal discomfort: "Time to rest, I've had a hematoma in my abdomen all week and pain that hasn't been a rupture by millimeters, the doctor told me not to push in the bathroom," Mérida stated, always with his humorous tone. This break now forces him to miss the Madrid Challenger, which takes place next week.

Dani Mérida gave a true lesson in courage and resilience in the final of the ATP Bucharest 2026 against Mariano Navone. The Spaniard gave his all, but it wasn't enough, and the Argentine claimed the title and victory with a score of 6-2, 4-6, 7-5. Therefore, at the trophy presentation ceremony, the Madrid native wanted to emphasize the significance this Bucharest tournament will have for him: "I have to congratulate Navone for his great week and also the people involved in this tournament; it has meant a lot to me to have reached the final. And a big thank you to Bucharest, I hope to come back here many more years," concluded a Mérida who will be the 101st in the ATP ranking next Monday.
