After an intense campaign in Bucharest, where he defeated Romania’s Filip Cristian Jianu and came through several hard-fought matches in the earlier rounds, Džumhur was unable to maintain the same level against a fresher opponent.

The quarterfinal match, played on the Central Court, ended in straight sets, 6–3, 6–3, after one hour and 27 minutes, with van de Zandschulp controlling the pace and proving more consistent in key moments.

For Džumhur, the Bucharest tournament remains one where he feels comfortable, having reached the semifinals last year. This time, however, his run ends in the quarterfinals after several days of managing a demanding schedule and consecutive matches.

On the other side, van de Zandschulp continues his run and advances to the semifinals, confirming his strong form at this tournament and establishing himself as one of the key players in the final stages.

The ATP 250 Țiriac Open presented by UniCredit Bank continues at the Simona Halep National Tennis Center, as the competition enters its decisive phase.
