It’s Day 4 at the ATP 250 in Umag with three Italians on the cards. Will Fabio Fognini continue his quest to secure a second title here? Which of the “Lorenzos” will progress? We predict all of the day’s matches, split between this and a separate article
[tgdcta items=”1″ id=”170460″]
Fabio Fognini’s recent performances suggest he may extend his career on the main tour
The Italian is familiar with these surroundings
Chun-Hsin Tseng has proved his mettle on clay
and this match will depend on the Italian’s disposition as he is the more experienced player
Luciano Darderi returned from a break-down in the second set to clinch a straight-set win over Duje Ajdukovic in front of the home fans
He’ll be oozing confidence against teenager Mensik
who’s just clinched three wins from his last ten matches

It’s almost a clean sweep for the top four in Umag
4 Francisco Cerundolo in the semifinals on Friday
2 Lorenzo Musetti battles unseeded Czech Jakub Mensik
and he won his second Masters 1000 this spring in Madrid–but he has slumped bigtime since
Between nabbing the title in Madrid and his run to at least the semis in Umag
the Russian won exactly three matches in five tournaments played–including a first-round ouster at Wimbledon at the hands of world No
Rublev seems to have found his footing again this week as he wraps up European clay and starts to make his way to North America to prepare for the U.S
Francisco Cerundolo has had a bit of a rough season of his own
he had a losing record on the year (18-20)
The 25-year-old performed well at Roland Garros
even pushing Novak Djokovic to five sets in the round of 16
It’s probably more accurate to say that Cerundolo struggles off clay
but since he’s still on the dirt this week his success isn’t really a surprise
He isn’t playing with confidence right now
Cerundolo is perfectly capable of seizing the opportunity

This will be the first meeting between Lorenzo Musetti and Czechia’s Jakub Mensik
except for Carlos Alcaraz–who just won the Channel Slam (the French Open and Wimbledon in the same season)–Musetti is the hottest player on tour
He bowed out of the French Open in the third round
but since then he has racked up a wild number of wins: the semis in Stuttgart
The 18-year-old has plenty of potential but is without the consistency necessary to make noise on the tour week in and week out
He had a completely disastrous grass-court swing
and while he’s posted his best results in his young career on hard courts
he clearly fares better on clay than he does on grass
This one should be a routine win for Musetti
The Italian had some time off since his run at Wimbledon and hasn’t looked gassed at all this week
Look for Musetti to take care of business in efficient fashion

Day 3 at the ATP 250 in Umag sees top seed and former champion Andrey Rublev attempt to exorcise his Argentine demons to avoid a third straight loss to an Argentine player
The home crowd will also have something to cheer as homeboy Duje Ajdukovic challenges fellow youngster Luciano Darderi
Two in-form players meet for the first time on their favourite surface
and it promises to be an exciting encounter in Umag
Darderi had seven wins on the bounce clay before succumbing to Sebastian Baez in last week’s Hamburg quarterfinals
who was on a five-match win streak before losing to Rafael Nadal in the Bastad semifinals
Ordinarily, this should be a walkover for Rublev, but his confidence and mental state appear to have taken a hit with his recent inexplicable losses. He lost in the Wimbledon first round to Argentine Francisco Comesana before being sent packing in his first match at Bastad by another Argentine Thiago Agustin Tirante

On January 17, the Croatian Navy (Hrvatska ratna mornarica) took delivery of the second Omis-class patrol vessel “OOB-32 Umag“ at a ceremony at the “Admiral flote Sveto Letica-Barba” barracks in Split
Chief of the General Staff of the Croatian Armed Forces Tihomir Kundid
Commander of the Croatian Navy Rear Admiral Damir Dojkić
and other senior officials attended the event

Croatian Defense Minister Ivan Anušić stressed that the OOB-32 Umag is only the beginning of the Croatian Navy’s modernization process
He further stated that the country had initiated the procurement process for a multi-purpose corvette to further develop its naval capabilities
Anušić also noted that Croatia currently allocates 2% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to defense
adding: “The glorious Croatian Armed Forces will reach a level that will guarantee the security
unity and territorial integrity of the Croatian state and people.”
“OOB-32 Umag,” named after the city of Umag on Croatia’s Istria Peninsula
was built as part of the modernization program launched by the Croatian Ministry of Defence in December 2014
This program includes the construction of five Omiš-class vessels to replace the Mirna-class patrol boats inherited from the former Yugoslav Navy
The construction of the lead ship of the class
OOB-31 “Omiš,” started in 2015 at Brodosplit Shipyard and was delivered to the Croatian Navy on December 7
the construction of the other ships was significantly delayed
OOB-32 “Umag,” has only now been received
“Karlobag,” “Opatija,” and “Skradin,” are still under construction at Brodosplit Shipyard
all three ships are planned to be delivered to the Croatian Navy in the coming months
The Omis class patrol vessels have a compact design with a length of 43.16 meters and a width of 8 meters
Equipped with two 2525 kW Caterpillar engines and a controllable pitch propeller (CPP) system
the vessels can travel 1,000 nautical miles at 15 knots with a single fuel load
which can host 17 crew members with an essential crew of 14 and 3 additional personnel
also offers 10 days of cruising autonomy and full operational capability up to Sea State 5
The patrol vessels provide self-defense with one remote-controlled 30mm automatic cannon
and four portable anti-aircraft missile systems

This Friday at the ATP Croatia Open in Umag will feature the two semifinal matches
Considering the Olympics are about to start in a few days
Umag has a very impressive field of players remaining
led by a top 10 player and current Madrid champion in Andrey Rublev
It has been a very entertaining tournament so far and it should remain that way
with all four players having a very realistic chance of claiming this trophy

He even saved two match points in the deciding set tiebreak

Musetti has not had any remarkable results on clay

Sonego looked injured and had cramps late in the match
We believe that he will be exhausted in the second round
Value bet/ the best odds: Alexandre Muller winning @1.73 @bet365
Flavio Cobolli has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Hamburg, Flavio lost in the second round against Zhang in straight sets as we predicted. Here in Umag

It’s time for the semifinals of the 2024 ATP Croatia Open in Umag
Three of the top four seeds have it made this far
with the other withdrawing ahead of the event (Holger Rune)
Jakub Mensik took that opportunity and is playing just as well as everybody else left in the event
Jakub Mensik fell off the map recently due to some health issues, but the young Czech is back on track now
His performances this week have been stellar and while some big names are remaining in this event
Especially the win over Luciano Darderi in the second round was just top-notch
this will be a second ATP Tour semifinal appearance after Doha earlier this year
Andrey Rublev hasn’t been awful this year; he’s just gotten a bit less clinical and isn’t invulnerable to upsets anymore
But of course that one run he had in Madrid is a massive saving grace as well
This week he’s managed to fend off both Camilo Ugo Carabelli and Fabian Marozsan
despite some early tests from both players
It’s a big improvement as before Umag

Lorenzo Musetti has won four of his last five matches. The last match he played was at Wimbledon, where he lost in the semifinals against Novak Djokovic in straight sets. Musetti took some time off to get rested for the second part of the season

Trungelitti fought through the qualifying tournament once again
Marco won both of his qualifying matches in straight sets
Trungelitti won against Andreozzi in three tight sets

Musetti is the big favorite in this matchup
Trungelitti has already won three matches here in Umag
so he will definitely be confident coming into this meeting
Musetti had a longer break after he lost an exhausting match against Djokovic
He will probably still be emotionally exhausted

Fognini had some solid results which earned him a return to the top 100 in the rankings

Luckily for him, with some players withdrawing from the tournament

Fabio showed great tennis in his first round performance
We believe that he will have strength for another match
and he won easily against Tseng in straight sets
Fognini winning in straight sets is a value bet

but stayed composed and turned the match around

The always-popular ATP event in Umag will conclude this Saturday
with a very interesting final in prospect between Lorenzo Musetti and Francisco Cerundolo
two players who love playing on clay and have been playing some amazing tennis this week
Musetti has been in amazing form recently, backing up his run to the Wimbledon semifinals with this run here in Umag
He will match his career high of #15 with the title and will go short on rest but high on confidence to Paris to fight for an Olympic medal
Cerundolo has been playing quite well this week too
as shown by his straight set victory Friday over Andrey Rublev
and he will certainly believe his chances of a title here
Both of their previous meetings were on clay and ended with Musetti straight set victories; ultimately
while Cerundolo is a very solid player on this surface
Musetti seems to be a few levels higher especially as far as talent and potential are concerned
He seems to finally be somewhat fulfilling that talent and translating it into great results
so he absolutely has to be considered a favorite here

but it is true that the buzz surrounding Jakub Mensik at the beginning of the season had not been sustained in the following months
We are talking about one of the best talents on the men's circuit at 18 years old
who reached his first ATP final last February in Doha
a sensation that he may experience again this week
the Czech is already in the quarterfinals of the ATP 250 in Umag after swiftly defeating Alexei Popyrin (6-3
Now he faces Tseng who entered as a lucky loser at the last minute
This news is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, ATP Umag 2024. Mensik recupera su mejor versión
Seeds Andrey Rublev and Francisco Cerundolo headline the Umag quarterfinal lineup on Thursday
The top-seeded Rublev is facing Fabian Marozsan
while Cerundolo is going up against Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego.(1) Andrey Rublev vs
Fabian MarozsanRublev temporarily saved his season with a 1000-point title in Madrid
but he still faces a steep ranking decline later this summer and fall if he does not turn things around
the ninth-ranked Russian is 3-5 and went into the Croatia Open on a horrendous four-match losing streak
7-5 victory over Camilo Ugo Carabelli on Tuesday will give Rublev some much-needed momentum
1 seed’s way of the semifinals on Thursday is Marozsan
The 49th-ranked Hungarian scraped past Alexander Shevchenko in a third-set tiebreaker before beating Thiago Monteiro 6-2
Success on clay is nothing new for Marozsan
who famously upset Carlos Alcaraz en route to the Rome fourth round and won two Challenger titles last season
The 24-year-old is playing with more confidence than Rublev right now and his style of offspeed junk and drop-shots is generally not what you want to be dealing with when your game is struggling–which is certainly the case for Rublev.Pick: Marozsan in 3[yop_poll id=”1352″](4) Francisco Cerundolo vs
Lorenzo SonegoCerundolo and Sonego will be squaring off for the third time in their careers on Thursday
They have split their two previous encounters; Cerundolo prevailed 3-6
6-2 in the 2023 Miami fourth round before Sonego scored a 6-4
6-2 victory on the indoor hard courts of Vienna
Those two result are not at all surprising
as Cerundolo is a borderline Miami specialist and Sonego is the superior indoor hard-court player with a history of success in Vienna
The 37th-ranked Argentine won the Bastad title in 2022
has two runner-up finishes on dirt during his ATP career
and pushed Novak Djokovic to five sets at the recent French Open
Sonego kicked off his week by outlasting Mili Poljicak 11-9 in a third-set tiebreaker
complete with leg cramps throughout the final three points of the match
The 54th-ranked Italian recovered to defeat Alexandre Muller 7-5
but it has already been a difficult tournament for Sonego and now he runs into a very tough opponent.Pick: Cerundolo in 3[yop_poll id=”1353″]
Musetti is the slight favorite in this matchup
Musetti won both matches on clay against Cerundolo
Lorenzo usually underperforming in the big matches such as this one
We saw it at this year’s Wimbledon as well
Cerundolo is more reliable when playing on the biggest stage
Value bet/ the best odds: Francisco Cerundolo winning @2.30 @bet365
Much of the ATP tour heads back to European clay after Wimbledon with Monday’s Umag lineup featuring a pair of players from Czechia
while Tomas Machac battles Thiago Monteiro
Czechia’s Jakub Mensik had his first breakthrough tournament earlier this season in Doha
The 18-year-old came from out of nowhere to make the final
with upset wins over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina
and Andrey Rublev before finally falling to champion Karen Khachanov
His season since then has been a little less successful and he is currently off his career high-ranking of 65th at world No
Mensik has the right ingredients for success; he just needs a bit more consistency to carry out his plan
Alexei Popyrin will likely go into this match with confidence
The Aussie got to the third round of Wimbledon and pushed finalist Novak Djokovic before going down in four sets
The problem is that he’s been absolutely miserable on the dirt this year
with both wins coming at the Monte-Carlo Masters
He lost in the opener of his other four events
Look for Mensik to take advantage of Popyrin’s current struggles on clay to get the victory in this first-ever encounter with Popyrin
Cheryl pick: Mensik in 2Ricky pick: Popyrin in 2[yop_poll id=”1340″]
He made an impressive run to the quarterfinals at the Miami Masters and then rolled to the final in Geneva
He notably beat Novak Djokovic in his run to the Geneva final
Machac is 19-11 for the season and has played well on clay so far
Brazil’s Thiago Monteiro is a tricky first-round opponent
He’s ranked 85th in the world and he struggles some on surfaces outside of clay
but he is a good clay-courter and may well give Machac some trouble on Monday
after Monteiro successfully qualified for the Rome Masters
he made his way to the round of 16–where he lost to Zhizhen Zhang
Look for this first-ever H2H contest to be an entertaining battle
Machac is more consistent with better weapons
so he should make his way through–but not without some trouble
Cheryl pick: Machac in 3Ricky pick: Machac in 3[yop_poll id=”1344″]
Monteiro just beat Ruud in slow seaside conditions
The Italian will face Frenchman Alexandre Muller in the next round
Sonego saved two matchpoints in the deciding set tiebreaker and even suffered from cramps during the last few points before coming through in three hours and 18 minutes

While ATP 250 finals across the globe will take place on Sunday
another ATP 250 tournament begins in Croatia — this time at the Croatia Open in Umag
multiple final rounds of qualifying will take place
This is one of four qualifying matches on Sunday and is the only match on Goran Ivanisevic Stadium
Andreozzi has played more doubles than singles lately but possesses a solid 328-238 record on clay courts
Tseng is newer to tennis at 22 years old and has played many tournaments on clay courts at ATP Challenger Tour events
Both players also won their first qualifying match in straight sets
As Andreozzi hasn’t played a singles tournament in over a month prior to Saturday
Tseng may be the favorite and could come out more confident in key moments during the match
Marozsan has a solid baseline-centered game that works well on the clay courts
while Shevchenko tends to dictate points with his power on all surfaces
Neither player won more than one match in last year’s Croatia Open
and this will be a good opportunity for either player to pick up a win
Marozsan will have to use his drop shot to his advantage
while Shevchenko cannot afford to lose many points off his big serve
Shevchenko won both the pair’s matches over the last five months
and expect him to be the slight favorite because of that
This match will mark a big milestone for Mikrut as his first ATP tour-level match
The 20-year-old recently made his first ATP Challenger Tour final last month
while Carabelli has played in many ATP tour-level qualifying matches
trying to return to his best form from 2022
A win for Carabelli will mark his fourth ATP tour-level win
and he’ll have to play confident tennis and not let the inexperienced Croat dictate points
but Carabelli will have enough experience to etch out a tight two-set win
and disappointingly lost last week in the German Open as a seed
This match should come down to whoever takes advantage of more break points
and look for Arnaldi to step up as the slightly more solid player on slow clay courts
