Losing your first three finals can't be easy, nor can that moment of taking the microphone and having to deliver a thank-you speech when all you really want is to go to the locker room and smash a couple of lockers. Luckily, Alejandro Davidovich, besides being a great player, is an extraordinary person, someone who always has that smile to heal the tough moments. At the ATP 500 in Acapulco, where luck turned its back on him again, the Spaniard stepped onto the podium to collect the runner-up trophy and leave his final words in an event that will return him tomorrow to the top 40 of the world rankings. This was his complete speech:

"The first thing I want to do is congratulate Tomas on winning his first professional title. Honestly, I don't know what it feels like in a moment like this, I haven't been able to win any title so far, but it must be an amazing sensation. Congratulations to you and your entire team because you have been doing an incredible job these past seasons. It's impressive how you handle every emotion on the court, so this success is totally deserved."

"On my part, I admit that I came here feeling defeated after losing another final a week ago, but I came with high expectations and great confidence. I didn't know I had so many people in Mexico who would support me in this way, which has been evident since the first match. In that match, I was almost flying to Los Angeles, but suddenly, here I am on Saturday with all of you, enjoying playing a final. Obviously, it's always sad to lose a final, but good things come to those who wait, we must fight for it. Tomas (Machac) had been fighting for it for a long time, and I will do the same. Hopefully, I can achieve it here next year."

"I also want to thank my team, who has been there supporting me throughout this week; it's been a tough week. To everyone at home, to my family, but also to the doctors and nurses who have been treating me since day one because I've had pains everywhere and of all kinds. It would have been impossible without their help, just as this tournament wouldn't be possible without the support of sponsors and other partners. I really felt at home, so thank you to everyone, and I hope to see you next year."

THE CHAMPION'S WORDS

Of course, immediately after, we also heard from the new champion of Acapulco, Czech Tomas Machac, who managed to open his professional record at 24 years of age. It's true that he was never the life of the party, a factor that kept him always grounded and allowed him to have a nice gesture towards his rival: "I want to congratulate Alejandro because he had a great week. It's a great achievement that he played a final last week and here he is again in the final. Keep it up, because your first title won't be the only one; there will be many. I believe in you a lot."
