Alejandro Davidovich is a prisoner of the solid party plan of Alex de Minaur who fell in the semifinals of the Toronto Masters 1,000 in just over an hour, but also because of his lack of mental clarity and physical freshness.
“I’m very nervous, very tense, that’s the key. My legs aren’t fit today, I’m not feeling well, I’m late for everything, it’s a bad day at the office. At the end he breaks his serve but when he serves he gets more tired, he returns it all. Nerves hit me in the first few minutes and he knows how to play tactically still a little wind and I was wrong, it was an accumulation of things ”, reviews the man from Malaga.
However, and above all, Davidovich wants to give all the credit to De Minaur: “Alex acted quickly, he deserved to win, he is a better player now and he is better tactically. I wish him luck in the final”, highlighted ‘Foki’, who on Monday will appear as the world number 23 on the ATP charts -his best ranking so far at 24 years old-, and achieved the best result in a hard-court Masters 1,000 in these semis, getting past the quarterfinals at Indian Wells this year.
“I played very well all week and today was very bad. For me this week is very positive, I will try to put it together, I will play again in two days (in cincinnati). I enjoy every moment on the court, happy to be on the court and express my game to the world. I’m not going to leave with the attitude of being so defeated, if not tried. It was a very good week where everything happened for me in all the games. I am growing both on and off the track, this defeat will not affect me for the next tournament”, assured Davidovich.
Growth within the track begins from the outside, where Foki incorporates the habit of reading into his daily routine. the disciple of Jorge Aguirre has beaten the top two players this week as Alexander Zverev -although German is at 16-, and Casper Ruud. He feels he has found a balance between being aggressive and pausing in his tennis.
“Yes, I found it. It is very focused on all points, does not give up, is present, focused and smiling and, above all, have fun. You will lose a lot in your career and this is another one, you just have to learn and improve for the next one”, concluded ‘Foki’.
