A young Spaniard printed a fairy tale in Umag, and his escort was one of the main themes of the finale

Daniel Merida, a young Spanish tennis player aged 21, won his first ATP title at the Plava Laguna Croatia Open in Umag, defeating experienced Bosnia and Herzegovina player Damir Džumhur in a dramatic final. The match featured intense emotional swings, with Merida initially dominating the first set before Džumhur fought back to win the second. However, Merida regained control in the third set, securing a decisive victory with a score of 6-2. This win marked Merida as the third youngest champion in the tournament's history, joining the ranks of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. His performance earned him 250 ATP points and elevated his world ranking to 58th, marking a career-high. Additionally, Merida's girlfriend, Luana Selena Gheban, became a focal point of attention during the final due to her passionate support from the stands, which had previously gone viral at other tournaments.

Damir Džumhur, Bosnian tennis player, won his quarter-final match against Italian Matteo Arnaldi at the Plava Laguna Croatia Open, marking the longest match in the tournament's history. The match lasted three hours and 42 minutes and featured three tiebreaks. Džumhur expressed his pride in making history and acknowledged the challenge posed by Arnaldi, who had recently played in the semi-finals of the French Open.
