Tonight at 9:00 PM, don't make any plans. Save that time to watch Alejandro Davidovich compete in the final of the ATP 250 Delray Beach, where he will face Miomir Kecmanovic in search of his first professional title. An event that takes us directly back to that Montecarlo of 2022, although many things have changed in these three years, especially him. In a small mixed zone developed after defeating Matteo Arnaldi in the semifinals, the Malaga native explains some interesting points about his game, his mentality, and his journey to this opportunity he had been chasing for so long.
Victory against Arnaldi
“I'm not going to reveal the main strategy because he'll probably read it (laughs). I played my game, simply, knowing that the balls were very heavy and that he was hitting very freely from both his forehand and backhand, but I was there at every point. Even when he hit hard at times, there were also moments when he rushed. The key was to always be there because the score could have slipped away in the second set, but I stayed there.”
Stage with Verdasco as coach
“Fernando was a key figure when I parted ways with my coach; we had a great six months, both happy, but in the end, him living in Doha made logistics very complicated. It was very hard to coordinate training sessions. It was all great during tournaments, but it became tougher during weeks at home. I just spoke with him today; I told him I didn't expect him to retire while I was around, so I'll be there to support him with Novak in doubles. He's a great friend; I really appreciate everything he's done for me.”
Seeking his first title
“Going for a title has always been on my mind. It is true that I put a lot of pressure on myself, and perhaps because of that, my game didn't flow as I wanted. In the end, I have been working better, and now with my new team, we have changed many things. I am much more focused, both on and off the court. The path I want to take is gradually becoming clearer. I am really enjoying this experience, feeling comfortable.”
Kecmanovic in the final
“I am confident for the final; I have won some great matches this week, so I arrive with much confidence and calm. It is true that against Miomir... well, I have never beaten him, they have always been very close matches. We have known each other since we were kids, we get along well, so I will do everything possible to play at a high level. Not so much thinking about winning the title, but about improving every day.”
