The second round of the BMW Munich Open has come to an end, with Francisco Cerúndolo and David Goffin among the main protagonists of a tennis-filled day in the German city. The quarterfinal lineup has been completed, with a surprising exit from 4th seed Ugo Humbert, who was defeated by Fabian Marozsan.
Fabian Marozsan stuns Humbert to reach BMW Open quarterfinals
Marozsan def. Humbert 6-4, 6-4
Fabian Marozsan pulled off the upset of the day by defeating fourth seed Ugo Humbert in the round of 16 at the ATP 500 BMW Open. The Frenchman had a 2-0 head-to-head lead coming into the match, but his poor run continues — Humbert has now won only 3 of his last 8 matches.
Marozsan had come through the qualifiers at the Monte Carlo Masters 1000, though he lost in the first round to Gael Monfils 4-6, 6-1, 6-1. The Hungarian made the difference on second serve points, winning 67% of them compared to Humbert’s 46%. He also broke serve three times, while the Frenchman managed only one break. Marozsan hit 17 winners to Humbert’s 12. Marozsan will face Zizou Bergs in the quarterfinals — a player he already beat in the first round of Monte Carlo qualifying.
Cerundolo keeps rolling with dominant win over Shevchenko
Cerundolo def. Shevchenko 6-3, 6-2
Francisco Cerúndolo extended his good run of form with a straight-sets win over Alexander Shevchenko in the Round of 16 at the ATP 500 BMW Open. The Argentine had recently fallen in the second round of the Monte-Carlo Masters to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz, and reached the quarterfinals at the Miami Open, where he lost a tight battle to Grigor Dimitrov 6-7, 6-4, 7-6. Cerúndolo now holds a 19-8 win-loss record for the 2025 season.
The 26-year-old Argentine was clearly superior to the Kazakh player, winning 81% of points behind his first serve, while Shevchenko managed just 39%. Cerúndolo converted five break points, compared to two from Shevchenko. The world No. 22 also made a difference with his winners, hitting 18 to Shevchenko’s six. Francisco Cerúndolo will face David Goffin in the quarterfinals.

Bergs dismantles young Dedura-Palomero
Bergs def. Dedura-Palomero 6-1, 6-1
World No. 50 Zizou Bergs ended the dream run of local surprise Diego Dedura-Palomero, currently ranked No. 549, who had captured attention in the first round with an emotional celebration following Denis Shapovalov’s retirement. That victory marked his first ATP win and made him the first player born in 2008 to win a tour-level match. However, the 16-year-old German showed signs of inexperience and could do little against the Belgian.
Bergs was far more aggressive, hitting 23 winners compared to just four from Dedura. In terms of unforced errors, they were more evenly matched — 26 from Bergs and 22 from Dedura-Palomero. It took the Belgian just 1 hour and 10 minutes to wrap up a 6-1, 6-1 win, during which Dedura failed to hold serve even once.
Still, the young German is emerging as a promising prospect for the future. At just 17, he’s guaranteed a career-high ranking of world No. 376, climbing more than 170 spots in the ATP rankings. Bergs now moves on to face Fabian Marozsan in the quarterfinals on Friday.
Goffin turns back the clock with epic comeback win over Navone
Goffin def. Navone 0-6, 7-5, 6-1
Former world No. 7 David Goffin seems to be enjoying a second wind in recent months. After spending a couple of seasons outside the top 100, he has now secured his return to the top 50 following a hard-fought victory over clay-court specialist Mariano Navone. The 34-year-old Belgian had already claimed a notable win against Carlos Alcaraz at the Miami Open and continues to climb the rankings.
Goffin had a rough start, landing only 32% of first serves and winning just 36% of his service points. He recorded just one winner against 16 unforced errors, resulting in a 6-0 set for Navone. It looked like an easy task for the Argentine, but Goffin raised his level in the second, taking a tight set 7-5. He then dominated the decider to complete the comeback victory. With the victory, Goffin advances to the quarterfinals, where he will face Argentina’s Francisco Cerúndolo.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- 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.mandoist05-11-2026
