Lithuanian tennis player Vilius Gaubas has continued his winning streak in San Marino, securing a spot in the quarterfinals of the Challenger tournament. The 21-year-old, currently ranked 128th in the ATP, confidently overcame his eighth-final opponent, Genaro Alberto Olivieri of Argentina, who is ranked 200th. Gaubas won the match in two sets with a score of 6:2, 6:3.

This victory served as a form of revenge for Gaubas. The two players met last year, but Olivieri emerged victorious after a hard-fought three-set match, winning 1:6, 6:3, 7:5. Gaubas's progression to the San Marino tournament quarterfinals guarantees him 16 ATP ranking points and a prize of 6160 euros.

Gaubas will now compete for a place in the semifinals against either Italy's Andrea Pellegrino (ATP-137) or Brazil's Thiago Monteiro (ATP-303). The San Marino tournament is played on clay courts, and the total prize fund for the event is 203,900 euros.
