The Italian will meet the Spanish in the quarterfinals of Rome after saving four match points against Zverev: "It has been the most important match of my career".
Rafa Jódar and Martín Landaluce are leaving Spanish tennis in a grand way. Both Madrid-born players have advanced to the quarterfinals of ATP Rome 2026 after defeating Learner Tien and Hamad Medjedovic, respectively. Furthermore, both rackets have achieved a milestone rarely seen, as they have become the fifth duo from the same country to reach the quarterfinals of a Masters 1000 event with less than 21 years of age since the year 2000. Before them, Robby Ginepri and Andy Roddick at Indian Wells 2003 and Cincinnati 2003; Rafa Nadal and Nico Almagro at Rome 2006; and Félix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov at Miami 2019.

Coco Gauff is the latest tennis player to join the critics of the WTA 1000 tournaments held over two weeks. Although the situation doesn't seem likely to change, the world number four has expressed her dissatisfaction with these events: "I don't really like playing two-week tournaments back-to-back. Fortunately, I made it to the quarterfinals here, but if you lose early, you think, 'What do I do now?' At the beginning of the year, the two-week tournaments are fine, and now as well. But before the US Open, I think, 'You've been playing for four weeks and only competed in two tournaments,' and that also weighs on you."

An authentic thriller unfolded between Coco Gauff and Mirra Andreeva in the quarterfinals of the WTA Roma 2026. However, only one could emerge victorious, and that was the American who managed to come from behind and secure the win with a score of 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, after two hours and 20 minutes of intense play. The match was highly contested, and either player could have won. Gauff even led 5-1 in the third set, and Andreeva fought hard, saving four match points, but ultimately, the fifth time proved to be the charm for the player from Atlanta, who now awaits Sorana Cirstea in the semifinals.

Spanish managed to secure the victory against the always combative Medjedovic and moves into the quarterfinals of the ATP Roma 2026.
The American managed to come back against her compatriot in another clash in Rome that became very challenging for her: "Sometimes I put too much pressure on myself in every tournament because I want to win it."
Pablo Llamas played an outstanding match against Daniil Medvedev that confirmed his good performance in this ATP Rome 2026. The Andalusian made it through the qualifying rounds, defeated Ethan Quinn, Corentin Moutet, and came very close to causing an upset against the Russian. Despite the loss (3-6, 6-3, 6-2), the Spanish tennis player delivered a point rarely seen. During an exchange, Medvedev played a drop shot, and as Llamas ran towards it, he switched his racket from his right to his left hand and managed to win the point, much to the delight of the Roman crowd.

Pablo Llamas came very close to causing one of the surprises of the ATP Rome 2026. The Andalusian, who came from the qualifying rounds, went head-to-head with a former world number one like Daniil Medvedev. In fact, he took the first set. However, the Russian reacted in time and managed to turn the match around to take the victory with 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, after two hours and 9 minutes of play. This way, the Muscovite advances to the Round of 16 of the Italian tournament, where he awaits the winner of the match between Flavio Cobolli and Thiago Tirante.

Arthur Fils set off all the alarms in his debut at the ATP Rome 2026 when he retired against Andrea Pellegrino with a 4-0 score against him and with signs of concern about hip discomfort. However, the Frenchman, who had been one of the top tennis players on this clay court tour, with the title in Barcelona and reaching the semifinals in Madrid, has sent a reassuring message through his social media regarding Roland Garros, which starts in less than two weeks: "I felt something during the match in Rome. I did all the tests with the team and everything is clear. Back to work for Paris. Thanks for the messages."
