The third-seeded Argentine, who was competing just three days after his semi-final defeat in Bastad, indicated to his team that he had nothing left to give after he dropped the opening set against Francesco Passaro<\/a> in Umag. Yet Ugo Carabelli stuck to his task and, as the sun set on the Croatian Adriatic coast, he was rewarded with a 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-3 victory. <\/p>\n \u201cI felt so tired. I played in Saturday on Bastad, so maybe I was tired to play today and it was too hot here, but now I won and I am so happy for that,\u201d said Ugo Carabelli in his on-court interview. \u201cI have a free day tomorrow, so I will take a rest. It is so beautiful here, so I will try to enjoy this beautiful city.\u201d <\/p>\n Ugo Carabelli converted five of 12 break points he earned against Passaro, according to Infosys ATP Stats, to book his quarter-final berth in Umag. The 26-year-old rose two spots to No. 49 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings as a result of his triumph, putting him in a good position to become a Top 50 player for the first time next Monday. <\/p>\n Now 15-15 for the year, Ugo Carabelli will next meet qualifier Pablo Llamas Ruiz<\/a>, a 6-3, 6-3 winner against Terence Atmane<\/a>, as he bids to reach his fourth tour-level semi-final of 2025. <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ugo Carabelli goes from ‘too hot’ to a QF spot in Umag!
