Roberto Carballes Baena of Spain will take on Luciano Darderi of Italy on Saturday with the winner advancing to the championship match of the 2025 Grand Prix Hassan II in Marrakech.
Baena will be carrying his clean slate into the semifinal round after topping Nuno Borges of Portugal 6-4 6-4 in the quarterfinal. The Spaniard, who also swept Taha Bahadi of Canada 7-6(3) 6-3 and Otto Virtanen of Finland 6-4 6-4, captured 38 points off his first serves and seized four crucial breakpoints that allowed him to pull away from the Portuguese.
Darderi secured his 7th win in 8 matches with a 7-5 6-2 win over Vit Kopriva of Czech Republic. Darderi, who reached the final of the 2025 Naples Challenger, racked up three more wins in Marrakech, including a gutsy win over Kopriva to arrange a semifinal duel with the Spaniard. Darderi won 29 first-serve points and 19 second-serve points against Darderi, who managed to steal one service break in the match.

Our Roberto Carballes Baena vs Luciano Darderi Prediction
Roberto Carballes Baena just can’t lose this match. He has won in their previous two meetings on clay and carries an impressive 62 percent win rate in 809 matches on the surface. Baena is a definition of a clay court expert. For Darderi, he has built some momentum after winning seven of his last eight matches. The Italian played brilliantly against Kopriva, showing composure in tight situations and the killer instinct to shut the door on Kopriva. Saturday’s semifinal offers him a chance to avenge his losses to Carballes Baena, and I believe he will give the Spaniard a feisty challenge from start to finish. Still, Carballes Baena’s vast experience on clay is hard to ignore. I see him winning a close one in three sets. Our betting prediction for Roberto Carballes Baena vs. Luciano Darderi: Roberto Carballes Baena will win 2-1.
