Match recap

Damir Dzumhur defeated Alex Molcan 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the Semifinal of the Croatia Open Umag 2026.

Break-point conversion flipped, and this semifinal went with it. Damir Dzumhur went 0-for-6 on break points in an opening set Alex Molcan took while cashing 2 of 4, then converted 3 of 6 the rest of the way to Molcan's 1 of 2. The decider broke open early. Breaks in game 3, for 2-1, and game 5, for 4-1, staked the ATP No. 108 to a lead he never handed back. Molcan saved 9 of 12 break points and finished just five points adrift, 97-92, but leaves with nothing beyond the opener. Two hours and 43 minutes in, Dzumhur closed out a second straight deciding set — the quarterfinal past Matteo Arnaldi needed three tiebreaks — and plays for the Croatia Open Umag title.
