Alexander Davidovich24 years old and world number 34, lost to the Danish Holger Rune (6th) in the 3rd round of Wimbledon after 3h.58′ of play and breaking two ‘match-balls’ in the fifth and final set: 6-3, 4-6, 3-6, 6-4 and 7-6 (8).
The Spanish tennis player missed a great opportunity to give another interesting boost to his career and enter the Wimbledon round of 16 for the first time after squandering those two match points at 5-4 and, eventually , gave away five points in a row as he dominated 8-5 in the final supertiebreak.
After a very well executed and competitive match, where Álex perfectly controlled his emotions to keep the pulse of Rune, at the age of 20, another young man was called to high altitude, the Spaniard made the worst decision in the most important moment of the clash: Davidovich is serving. very good, not a double fault in his locker, but he chose to serve with a spoon and go up to the net with 8-8 in that supertiebreak, a candy that the Dane predicted peppered the Andalusian in his break.
