Match recap

Alexei Popyrin defeated Clement Tabur 7(7)-6(2), 6(5)-7(7), 6-4 in the R32 of the Geneva Open 2026.

Alexei Popyrin outlasted Clement Tabur over 185 minutes, trading tiebreaks before the decider tilted on a single break for 6-4. The margin was paper-thin everywhere else — 121 points to 114, 18 holds to 16 — but Tabur's problem was his own openings: he converted 3 of 4 break chances (75%) yet only earned four all match, while Popyrin took 4 of 10. Tabur out-hit him 45 winners to 29, but bled 51 unforced errors to Popyrin's 34, and that gap held up late. The Australian wins the first meeting between the pair, his first on clay, to reach the last 16 in Geneva.
