\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t Argentine hopes for a singles title at Roland Garros are over. Juan Manuel Cer\u00fandolo, 56th in the Association of Tennis Professionals\u2019 (ATP) ranking and the last Argentine surviving in the men\u2019s singles, lost on Monday, falling 6-3, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (6) to Italy\u2019s Matteo Berrettini (105).<\/p>\n
It was a hard-fought affair at the Suzanne Lenglen Court. With both players coming off tough, five-set matches in the previous round, former world No. 6 and Wimbledon semifinalist Berrettini showed a little extra in key moments, taking the duel in just over two and a half hours of play.<\/p>\n
It wraps up a historic tournament for Cer\u00fandolo. Younger brother of 2026 Argentina Open champion Francisco, he sealed one of the upsets of the tournament when he beat Jannik Sinner in five sets and became the first Argentine to beat a sitting World. No. 1 since Juan Mart\u00edn del Potro in 2018.<\/p>\n
For the first time in his career, he reached the round of 16 at a Grand Slam, also defeating Britain\u2019s Jacob Fearnley (125) and Spain\u2019s Mart\u00edn Landaluce (69) along the way. It\u2019ll be enough to see him jump 12 spots in the rankings to get to 42.<\/p>\n
Bad results for Argentines over the weekend Cer\u00fandolo reached Monday as the last Argentine standing, as the results didn\u2019t go his countrymen\u2019s way over the weekend in Paris.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, Francisco Cer\u00fandolo (26) had a very poor showing and fell to United States player Zachary Svajda (85) by 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6-3, while namesake Francisco Comesa\u00f1a (102) battled hard but couldn\u2019t beat Berrettini in the third round, falling 7-6 (3), 5-7, 6-7 (4), 6-4 y 7-6 (13) after over five hours of play.<\/p>\n
Former doubles World No. 1 Horacio Zeballos is the last Argentine in contention. Alongside usual partner Marcel Granollers, the Mar del Plata player is already in the quarterfinals, aiming to repeat his 2025 win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
