Qualifier Alex Molican is just a win away from the Tiriac Open semi-finals. He takes on seventh seed Mariano Navone in this outdoor clay court match being played in Bucharest. Read our match prediction below.
In the last four, the winner will face either eighth seed Botic van de Zandschulp or Damir Dzumhur.
Alex Molcan was a quarter-finalist in the recent Zadar Challenger Tour event but had to retire in that match. The 28-year-old had to win two qualifying matches to reach the main draw and had to go to three sets to beat Jay Clarke.
In the main draw, he has been in good form with wins over Matteo Arnaldi and top seed Gabriel Diallo, losing only four games in each match. He was ranked 189th in the last published rankings and is 161st in the live list.
Mariano Navone was the runner-up in this tournament two years ago. He's won one Challenger Tour title this year but that was on a hard court. This is the first time in 2026 that he's made it past round two of a clay court tournament.
To reach this quarter-final, he's had straight sets wins over Christopher O'Connell and Elmer Moeller.
He's up to 53rd in the live rankings. We tip Navone to win set one and the match.
