The ATP Mallorca Championships experienced a day of significant upsets, with several favored players crashing out on the third day of competition. Australian player Nick Kyrgios, who was uncertain to play due to a morning injury, was defeated by his compatriot Adam Walton in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4.
Martín Landaluce also suffered a surprising loss in a closely contested match against Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff. Landaluce was defeated 6-3, 1-6, 7-5 after failing to capitalize on a crucial break point that could have given him the chance to serve for the match.
Corentin Moutet, the runner-up from the previous edition, faced an unusual situation. His initial opponent, Marton Fucsovics, withdrew minutes before the match, as did his first replacement, Zachary Svajda. Moutet ultimately lost to Jordan's Abedallah Shelbayh with a score of 7-5, 6-4.
Other notable results included Ethan Quinn's victory over Valentin Royer, Fabian Marozsan's comeback win against Alex Molcan, and Miomir Kecmanovic's defeat of Antoine Ghibaudo. The tournament's top seed, Luciano Darderi, is scheduled to make his debut against Yannick Hanfmann on Tuesday, while Spain's Alejandro Davidovich will play his first match on Wednesday against Adam Walton.
