Argentinian Francisco Comesana pulled off a remarkable comeback to defeat French No. 13 seed Arthur Fils 7-6(4), 6-4 and advance to the third round of the 2025 Madrid Masters at the Caja Mágica. Fils was cruising at 5-1 in the first set, but Comesana showcased his resilience, clawing back to win the set in a tiebreak. He then took control in the second set, securing a 6-4 win to seal a memorable victory against his higher-ranked opponent.
Ranked No. 70, Comesana will now face compatriot Francisco Cerundolo, the No. 20 seed, in what promises to be an exciting all-Argentinian showdown. Comesana’s impressive win follows his earlier triumph in the tournament, where he defeated Spain’s Pedro Martinez Portero 6-4, 6-4 in the previous round.
This victory marks a significant achievement for the 23-year-old, who is aiming to make a deep run at the prestigious Masters 1000 event and continue building on his strong season.
