This is the first time in the history of Umaga, four surprises and the longest match ever!

In a historic upset at the Croatia Open in Umag, four unseeded players advanced to the semifinals, marking the first time in the tournament’s 36-year history. The top three seeded players were eliminated before the quarterfinals, leading to matches between unseeded pairings. Roman Andres Burruchaga defeated seventh seed Camila Uga Carabelli in straight sets, then overcame fourth seed Matteo Arnaldi in a three-hour, 42-minute marathon. Meanwhile, Damir Džumhur, considered one of Bosnia-Herzegovina’s greatest ever tennis players, faced Arnaldi in a match that surpassed previous records for length. The match ended in a dramatic tiebreak after both players had already played for over three hours. Džumhur expressed frustration over losing momentum in the second set but praised the atmosphere and his performance. The match was further complicated by the controversial use of Hawk-Eye technology, which awarded an 'ace' to Arnaldi despite clear evidence of a fault.
