Daniil Medvedev def. Martin Landaluce 1-6, 6-4, 7-5 — Italian Open 2026 Quarterfinal

Match recap

Daniil Medvedev defeated Martin Landaluce 1-6, 6-4, 7-5 in the Quarterfinal of the Italian Open 2026.

After Martin Landaluce handed him a 6-1 opener, Daniil Medvedev found his return game just in time to flip a quarterfinal that should have been gone. The numbers explain the swing: Landaluce converted 5 of 7 break chances (71%) but coughed up eight double faults and saved only 2 of his last 7 break points across the final two sets, where Medvedev took five of fifteen. Medvedev won 72% of his first-serve points once settled and broke for 6-5 in the third to close it. In their first meeting — and first on clay — the Russian survives despite winning fewer games, 14 to 15.
