Pedro Martinez and Casper Ruud will play in the Generali Open final after both score victories on Friday.
Casper Ruud will get a chance to win another match after he was able to overcome Arthur Rinderknech sets. The Norwegian player started off the match well taking an early break but the match was then cut short because of rain. Several hours passed before the players resumed play and once it did it was Ruud's match once more.
He proceeded to win the first set with 6-3 with 2nd set being a much closer affair. Both players played really well and neither allowed a single break point in the 12 games. We ended up in a tiebreak where Rinderkench held a 3-1 lead and had a set point at 7-6 but Ruud was not to be denied.

He won it with 9-7 to extend his winning streak to 11 matches. He will go for a 12th against Pedro Martinez who played his best stretch of tennis ever this week in Kitzbuhel. The Spaniard is in the final after scoring some impressive victories. Today he had a comeback win over Daniel Altmaier 4-6 6-3 6-3.
It was a very fun match that lasted well over two hours and featured several medical timeouts. Martinez was feeling the effects of several matches and took several ones while also being able to overcome the match. Tough to see how he can beat a red-hot Ruud but he will try.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.

- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.
