Carlos Alcaraz defeated Pedro Martinez 6–2, 6–1 in the Rotterdam ATP 250 quarter-final on hard court, a commanding performance that confirmed the pre-match odds with the Spaniard's heavy favouritism at 1.08. Alcaraz's clinical display saw him dominate from the baseline, breaking serve multiple times to secure both sets with minimal resistance from Martinez, who offered little to trouble the world number one. The lopsided scoreline underscored the gulf in class between the two competitors, with Alcaraz advancing to the semi-finals in straightforward fashion. The result maintains Alcaraz's strong form on the indoor hard court season and keeps him on track for a potential title run in Rotterdam.
