“The goal I set for myself was to enjoy the track as much as possible. I didn’t enjoy today, it was overwhelming. “Now I’m giving myself a slap in the face because I didn’t enjoy the court, but I will achieve it in the next match,” added the Malaga native after defeating the Frenchman. Constant Lestienne by 6-4, 6-4 and 7-6(5), in a clash marked by intense heat, which at times exceeded 30 degrees of temperature.

This is a first round, which is the hardest to start. “I’m happy with the victory because it wasn’t easy at all,” said Davidovich, who will meet the German Maximilian Marterer or Portuguese Nuno Borges in the third round.
“In the end, there will be days when you don’t feel the ball. The only positive thing is that I served very well, I think this was the day I hit the most aces (11). There are things to improve and try I can get for the next game,” he said.
