Alejandro Davidovich’s great adventure at Roland Garros is over. The Malaga tennis player fell in the quarterfinals of the Parisian tournament against Alexander Zverev (6-4, 6-4, 6-1), on a day in which he reached his physical and mental limit against one of the best players in the world. planet. Zverev , sober on all levels and coming to more with the course of the games, continues with his immaculate card from the second round and is running as a candidate for the title, already from his position in the semifinals.

The jump in the ranking was already assured, as well as his place in the Tokyo Olympics, but the Russian-born tennis player wanted to do a new service, first of all a Top-10 like Zverev, who arrived in the quarterfinals with morale through the roof. after sweeping Nishikori.
The match started late – it was scheduled for 4:00 pm – due to the extension of the women’s team matches, but Davidovich and Zverev came out from the beginning ready to give a great show to the public. Daring and inspired to the rest, the breaks were chained by one and the other, without breaking the equality until Zverev hit the table at 5-3.
Alejandro, Foki for friends, would react with a new break, but far from 50% of first serves it was impossible to compete, and the first set went to Germany, leaving the young Spaniard very touched mentally, who fulfilled last June 5 22 years.
Davidovich runs out of batteries
The short circuit made a dent in Davidovich , a temperamental tennis player where they exist, and led him to continue accumulating errors in service, until he became a toy at the mercy of a Zverev unleashed on the court. The German needs to feel sure of himself to accumulate results on clay and at Roland Garros , with the exception of the first round, he has that extra.
In the second and third sets, Alejandro could only add two games, putting an end to his participation in Roland Garros, a tournament that spurs him in the ranking and in his possibilities for the future, within 2021 already in itself positive in its progression. Foki already knows that, from now on and despite what happened with Zverev , he is ready to fight with the best.
