The Italy Major's round of 16 delivered its biggest jolt on the men's draw. Franco Stupaczuk and Miguel Yanguas — ranked sixth and seventh in the world — are out, beaten in straight sets by Jerónimo González and Lucas Campagnolo. It is the kind of early exit that reshapes a bracket before the quarter-finals have even been drawn up.
Jerónimo González / Lucas Campagnolo 6-4 7-6 Franco Stupaczuk / Miguel Yanguas
The seeding said this shouldn't happen. Stupa sits at No. 6 and Yanguas at No. 7; González and Campagnolo came in ranked 14th and 21st. The lower-ranked pair won anyway — and never once trailed on the scoreboard.
González and Campagnolo took the initiative early and protected a break to close the opening set 6-4. The second was tighter. Neither side could force the decisive break, and it ran all the way to a tiebreak. The winners held their nerve in the breaker to take it 7-6 and dodge a decider entirely.
For Stupaczuk and Yanguas, still bedding in as a pairing, this is a costly result — a top-eight seed leaves the draw at the first knockout hurdle, and the points on offer here go elsewhere. That quarter of the men's bracket is suddenly wide open.
Nuria Rodríguez / Giulia Dal Pozzo 6-4 0-6 7-6 Carolina Orsi / Patricia Llaguno Zielinski
A match of extremes. Rodríguez and Dal Pozzo edged the first 6-4, then were handed a bagel in the second — 6-0, not a single game — as Orsi and Llaguno surged in front. Momentum looked gone.
It wasn't. The decider went the full distance to a tiebreak, and the Italian-led pair steadied to take it 7-6. Playing at home, Dal Pozzo rode the crowd through the swings, and the win set up a same-day quarter-final that would define her tournament.
Nuria Rodríguez / Giulia Dal Pozzo 3-6 6-3 6-2 Sofia Araujo / Claudia Fernández Sánchez
Back on court hours later, the same pair produced the women's upset of the day. Araújo (No. 8) and Claudia Fernández (No. 6) are a seeded quarter-final side; Dal Pozzo is ranked 50th. On paper, no contest.
Dal Pozzo and Rodríguez dropped the opening set 3-6 and then took control of the match, closing it out 6-3, 6-2. As the games tightened, the unseeded pair grew into the rallies while the seeds faded, and the swing in the final set was decisive rather than nervous.
It sends an unseeded, home-flavoured pairing into the semifinals of a Major — the story of the women's draw so far, and a genuine problem for whoever meets them next.
Arturo Coello / Agustín Tapia 6-1 6-1 David Gala Sánchez / Enzo Jensen Sirvent
The top seeds did top-seed things. Coello and Tapia conceded just two games against David Gala and Enzo Jensen, wrapping it up 6-1, 6-1 in barely an hour. Routine, ruthless, and a reminder that the men's title still runs through them.
Gemma Triay / Delfina Brea 6-1 6-1 Patricia Martínez Fortún / Claudia Escacena Montero
The women's No. 1 seeds matched that benchmark exactly. Triay and Brea needed only 6-1, 6-1 to move past Martínez Fortún and Escacena, giving up two games and no rhythm. They arrive in the later rounds untested.
The draw's shape has already shifted. With Stupa–Yanguas gone from the men's side and an unseeded Dal Pozzo–Rodríguez through to the women's semifinals, tomorrow's rounds land with more uncertainty than the seedings promised.
