Marco Trungelliti and Dusan Lajovic both upset seeded opponents to book their third-round spots. Trungelliti overcame ninth seed Nicolas Jarry 7-6(5), 6-3 to avenge his defeat to the Chilean in Barcelona a year ago. The Argentine qualifier will next take on Matteo Arnaldi.

Lajovic downed the in-form Ugo Humbert 6-4, 6-4 in the pair’s maiden Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting. The Serbian converted four of five break points he earned against the sixth seed, according to Infosys ATP Stats, en route to a 76-minute win.

His next opponent will be home favourite Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. The 11th seed advanced after Tomas Machac was forced to withdraw from their second-round clash due to illness.

Lajovic overcame #NextGenATP Frenchman Arthur Fils 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 to reach his eighth tour-level semi-final and just his second since 2020. The World No. 59, who is a two-time tour-level champion, is the lowest-ranked semi-finalist in Barcelona since then-World No. 63 Tsitsipas in 2018.

Fils was chasing his seventh ATP Tour semi-final and second above ATP 250 level. The 19-year-old is No. 32 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings.
