The Colombian continued that happy streak beating the Australian in five sets jordan thompson in the 2nd round: 6-3, 2-6, 3-6, 6-4 and 6-3.

Davidovich arrived New York with almost no competitive shooting on the North American hard court tour due to their 1st round loss to both Masters 1,000 old, new Argentine Diego Schwartzmann in Montreal and the australian Nick Kyrgios in Cincinnati.

Davidovich, junior champion in Wimbledon’2017, gained fame this season by losing Novak Djokovic in the 2nd round of Monte Carlowhere he reached the final in a category tournament for the first time Masters 1,000. Stefanos Tsitsipas stripped him of the title, but the Spaniard showed his ability to fight anyone on the circuit.
