Spanish was knocked out in the quarterfinals of the Miami Open 2026, despite showing good tennis, by an imperial Lehecka.
Martín Landaluce
The screenshot of the current live ranking of the NextGen is worth saving. The classification, which measures the performance of players born in 2006 or later, shows an unprecedented domination of Spanish tennis, with Rafael Jódar and Martín Landaluce leading the list in points earned so far this season. Both Spaniards surpass players like Fonseca or Kouamé.

Jiri Lehecka will have little time to celebrate his victory over Taylor Fritz, as this Wednesday he will face off in the quarterfinals of the 2026 Miami Open against Martín Landaluce. In fact, the Czech barely knew the Spaniard before this tournament: "I was surprised that he beat Korda. I saw a couple of games in his win against Khachanov, and he is playing incredible tennis and has nothing to lose, playing much more freely. He is hitting quality shots and it will be a big challenge, but I am prepared, both mentally and physically, to try to defeat him," Lehecka confessed in statements to Ziggo Sport.
'I must say I'm 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 he beat Korda' 😯

At just 20 years old, Tintín has raced through stages at supersonic speed: from excitement to public despair after a year with no progress in the rankings. He didn't give up... and now he's reaping the rewards.
Surprises have marked the course of this Miami Open 2026 and will continue to do so until the definitive battle for the title. The massive fall of favorites has ensured that we will see a new Masters 1000 finalist, who is also a player outside the current top-20 of the ATP ranking. The finalist will come from the section of the draw where Martín Landaluce, Jiri Lehecka, Tommy Paul, and Arthur Fils are competing. Who will manage to keep pushing their limits in this tournament and debut as a Masters 1000 finalist?

The Spaniard drew on his epic skills to save a match point against Korda and reach his first quarterfinals in a Masters 1000 event.

Martín Landaluce is living a Miami Open 2026 to remember. The Madrid native, who came from the qualifying rounds, has managed to overcome all kinds of obstacles and has become a quarterfinalist in the second Masters 1000 of the year after coming back against Sebastian Korda and saving a match point (2-6, 7-6(8), 6-4). In fact, this victory by the Madrid native has achieved two milestones. The first is that he becomes the first tennis player born in 2006 to reach the quarterfinals of a Masters 1000, and the second is that he is the third player with the lowest ranking (151) to reach the quarterfinals of the Miami Open after Patrick McEnroe (180) in 1993 and Jim Grabb (185) in 1994.

Martín Landaluce made history at the Miami Open 2026 by becoming the first tennis player born in 2006 to reach the quarterfinals of a Masters 1000. He did not do it in any ordinary way, as he saved a match point against Sebastian Korda, the conqueror of Carlos Alcaraz in the previous round. Still on the court, the Spanish player wanted to dedicate the victory to a very special person. "It's for my grandmother, who passed away three months ago and would have turned 101 last week."
