Alejandro Davidovich is experiencing a real dream, reaching his second consecutive ATP final. After his unsuccessful attempt in Delray Beach, the Spaniard will once again try to claim his first ATP title in the Acapulco tournament after defeating Denis Shapovalov in two thrilling tie-breaks. Davidovich will now have to battle against a tough opponent, Tomas Machac, who has previously defeated him in Shanghai last year.

“The match was very tough. Perhaps, in the first set, he deserved more. In the second, I deserved it. But in the end, I didn't stop fighting against him because I was ready for anything,” said Davidovich about his semifinal against the Canadian. “Not every day you are in an ATP 500 semifinal. I am very happy now and with how I fought in the first set and how I continued in the second. It wasn't easy when he made a comeback. I started nervous, but I knew I had to be consistent and keep fighting,” confessed the world number 48.

And that is where the key lies to reach this stage: mental strength. Stringing together two consecutive finals is not easy to handle, as it must be physically demanding, eventually affecting the mind. However, Davidovich has managed to overcome any mental fatigue and let himself be carried by the fire within: "It was a very tough match, but the competitive spirit and the fight were there. I knew that by fighting, I would have my chance. We both wore out physically and mentally, but I am happy with the battle."

Going for it all

Mattia Bellucci, Frances Tiafoe, Rodrigo Pacheco, and Denis Shapovalov already know what it's like to fall into the hands of the Spanish player. The last battle now awaits him against Machac, where he hopes not to face another tie-break after the two experienced against Shapovalov. "In the second set, I said: 'This is it, it's all or nothing, and I could do it.' I worked on playing better, being there with every point, and having enthusiasm for each match. I saved four match points in the first round and I am very excited for the final,” said Davidovich, who does not want to miss this great opportunity on Mexican soil.
