Federico Cina to Face Jaume Munar in Third Round of BNP Paribas Fortis European Open

Federico Cina from Italy will compete against Spain's Jaume Munar in the third round of the BNP Paribas Fortis European Open on October 19, 2026. This match marks their first encounter, with both players having no prior head-to-head record since 2022.

Cina heads into the match with a strong recent performance, winning four out of his last five matches. He secured victories in the qualifying rounds of the BNP Paribas Fortis European Open, defeating Remy Bertola in the final qualifying round with scores of 3-6, 7-6, 7-6 on October 18, 2026, and Joel Josef Schwaerzler on October 17, 2026, with a score of 6-3, 7-6.

Munar's recent form is less favorable, having lost two out of his last five matches, including a first-round defeat against Jenson Brooksby at the Rolex Shanghai Masters on October 8, 2026. However, he had a successful run at the Kinoshita Group Japan Open Championships earlier in the month, winning matches in the earlier rounds before facing Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals.

Both players will be looking to advance further in the tournament as they meet for the first time on the hard court.
