The Spanish Alexander Davydovich, 25 years old and world number 42, he finally managed to beat the Russian Daniel Medvedev28 years old and No. 5. After four defeats on the circuit, the last in Dubai this season by 6-2 and 6-3, the Andalusian won the ATP Masters 1000 in Canada by 6-4, 1-6 and 6 – 2.
Medvedev, upset about not having a chance in the third set, resorted to irony. “Can I leave too?” he told the chair umpire even though he knew Davidovich went to the bathroom after the second set, as required by regulation, even though that meant a stoppage of nearly eight minutes.
The student of Fernando Verdascofrom Roland Garros, the winner of the rivalry between the Russians Karen Khachanov and the Italian Matteo Arnaldi. A good result for Davidovich, who gave up the Olympic Games due to a back injury.
Yes he went to the land of Roland Garros Medvedev, which did not get off to a good start on his beloved hard court. He will have a new chance next week at the ATP Masters 1000 in Cincinnati, closer to the US Open.
