Kopřiva traveled to South America for the Golden Swing and reached two consecutive tour-level quarterfinals for the first time in his career. At the 2026 Argentina Open he defeated Alex Barrena and eighth seed Matteo Berrettini,[33] before losing to top seed and eventual champion Francisco Cerúndolo.[34] At the 2026 Rio Open he defeated Gustavo Heide, Román Andrés Burruchaga[35] and another Argentinian, Juan Manuel Cerundolo, to reach a semifinal at the ATP 500-level for the first time and only his second time at the tour level (since 2021).[36] His run was ended in the semifinals by eventual champion Tomás Martín Etcheverry.[37]
