Alejandro Davidovich (23) unexpectedly stumbled against Portuguese Nuno Borges 7-6(7), 6-3 and 6-3 (two hours and 18 minutes), in the second round of the Australian Open.
After the loss of the man from Malaga, the only Spaniard with options in the men’s team is Carlos Alcaraz (2).
Davidovich could not continue his entire winning record to date in 2024where he managed to beat Brazilian Thiago Seyboth Wild and Polish Hubert Hurkacz (9) in the recent United Cup, as well as Frenchman Constant Lestienne in the first round at Melbourne Park.
He also fell short of what would have been his 100th victory on the ATP circuit.after he was unable to recover from the blow of the first set, where he wasted 6-5 and serve, as well as the match point in the tiebreaker game.
The ghosts of the past reappeared and he executed an underhand serve in a delicate momentwith 40-40 and 4-3 matches, leading to the break and the final set against a Borges who hit two more wins than the Spaniard (28) and five fewer unforced errors (46).
Thus, he will debut for the first time in his career in the third round of the ‘slam’ and will have the opportunity to continue the victory against the local Thanasi Kokkinakis or the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov (13).
