Marin Cilic's last-minute withdrawal due to an injury picked up during his first-round comeback win over Zizou Bergs (4-6, 6-3, 6-4) handed 19-year-old Brazilian Joao Fonseca a walkover victory into the Madrid Open third round, resolving the second-round clash on clay. The veteran Croatian, a former US Open champion with a strong Madrid history including his first win here since 2022, faced off for the first time against the rising No. 31-ranked Fonseca, whose explosive form includes a maiden ATP title in Buenos Aires 2025 and recent deep runs on clay. No head-to-head existed, pitting Cilic's experience against Fonseca's youth and power; the injury shifted all momentum to the teenager ahead of potential next matchups like Alex de Minaur.
