Andrea Pellegrino career rise through Rome and the Challenger Tour
Andrea Pellegrino reached a new level in 2026 after years of progress on the Challenger circuit. The Italian qualified in Rome, beat Luca Nardi, advanced when No. 17 Arthur Fils retired while trailing 4-0, and then defeated Frances Tiafoe to make the Masters 1000 fourth round. That run carried him to a career-high No. 124. His foundation includes Challenger singles titles in Rome, Vicenza, Bad Waltersdorf and Perugia, plus the 2023 Santiago doubles title with Andrea Vavassori. Pellegrino therefore arrives in New York with recent evidence against tour-level opposition, not just a lower-circuit record.
