Camilo Ugo Carabelli finds his best tennis in Paris, into round two | OneFootball

Dream debut for Camilo Ugo Carabelli (No. 59 in the ATP rankings) against Emilio Nava (No. 94), winning 7-6 (10), 6-3, 6-3 in the first round of Roland Garros 2026. A victory that allows him to reach the second round of the Paris Grand Slam once again and gives him a chance to achieve his best result at the tournament.

The key for the Argentine was the tenacity he showed in the first-set tiebreak, a stretch decided by the smallest of margins after more than an hour, which somehow tipped the scales in his favor.

From there, the Buenos Aires native built his win over the American qualifier to reach the second round of Roland Garros for the second time in his career, after previously doing so in 2023, when he lost to Félix Auger-Aliassime.

Another important point is that he was able to wrap up the match in straight sets in under three hours, allowing him to conserve energy for what lies ahead. In the next round, the 26-year-old will face the winner of the match between Peru’s Ignacio Buse (No. 31) and Andrey Rublev (No. 13).

In this way, Argentine tennis officially adds another racket to the second round. With Ugo Carabelli confirmed, Mariano Navone, who defeated American Jenson Brooksby in straight sets, Thiago Tirante, who beat Spain’s Pablo Llamas Ruíz in four sets, and Marco Trungelliti, who defeated Frenchman Kyrian Jacquet in three sets, will also be there.
